Preaching for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, Dr. Kim R. Harris offers a reflection on Mary and Jesus and “the talk” and Black and brown Mothers and “the talk”:
"We must remember the glorious Mother, raising her child in a dangerous land, to help us all be free. Then we must spend our time, our energy, our prayers, and our actions, working to help all people be free."
