Our Lady pronounced only 7 words recorded by the Gospels: from the Annunciation through the Visitation, the finding of Jesus in the temple, up until Cana. As Jesus manifested His glory at that significant wedding, Our Lady ceased to speak publicly. Why? Moreover, in two central moments of Jesus' life, the Presentation in the temple and Calvary - two offertorial moments - no word by the Virgin Mary is recorded. Mary's silence is obedience to God and praise of His majesty. It is oblative. Her silence is the very pattern of Christian life and of liturgical offering at Mass.
