Vatican II: Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity
"For all states of the laity the perfect example of spiritual and apostolic life
is the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Apostles, who while leading the
life common to all here on earth, one filled with family concerns and
labours, was always intimately united with her Son and in an entirely
unique way co-operated in the work of the Savior . . . All should devoutly
venerate her and commend their life and apostolate to her maternal care".
