Pope Benedict XVI writes that "precisely because of Mary is with God and in God, she is very close to each one of us. While she lived on this earth she could only be close to a few people. Being in God, who is actually "within" all of us, Mary shares in this closeness of God." Our lady "knows our hearts, can hear our prayers, can help us with her motherly kindness. She always listens to us and, being Mother of the Sone, participates in the power of the Son and his goodness. We can always entrust the whole of our lives to this Mother." The Blessed Mother's birth into heaven generates in us "an ever new capacity to await God's future." (John Paul II)
