Meditation with music:
A mooring point for the humanization of love
Mother Mary – as a social construct, not as objective, historical reality, as an instrument of supervision and control?
The Lady and the Virgin as an absolute authority

Mary who defies death
Mother Mary – her mercy can abolish or change God’s judgment
Mother Mary – the absolute giving of love; the power that can bear the greatest sorrow; infinite fidelity and tireless dedication to work; ability of combining penetrating intuition with words of support and encouragement
