The Blessed Virgin Mary — Mother of All Graces and Model of Faith
【聖言導引】
聖母瑪利亞以一聲「願照祢的話成就於我」，開啟了救恩的序幕。她是耶穌的第一位門徒，也是我們所有人的母親。這扇花窗展現了聖母的慈祥與聖潔，她溫柔地俯視著每一位前來祈禱的子女，帶領我們走近她的聖子耶穌。
【聖經經文】
「萬福！充滿恩寵者，上主與你同在！」——《路加福音 1:28》
【藝術賞析】
慈愛的容顏： 透過細膩的蝕刻工法，呈現聖母溫柔且沈靜的面容，雙手交叉於胸前，展現出全然的信靠與謙卑。
神聖的光暈： 頭部後方的光環象徵她的聖潔與充滿恩寵，在自然光的透射下，更顯得神聖莊嚴。
守護的意象： 位於聖堂正門左側的高處，象徵聖母如同慈母般，時刻看護著民雄這片土地與所有的信友。
【心靈反思】
聖女小德蘭對聖母有著極深的渴望，她曾說：「我多麼希望自己能成為聖母的孩子。」對小德蘭來說，聖母不是一位遙不可及的女皇，而是一位最親近、最懂孩子心思的母親。
當我們看著聖母的聖像時，讓我們也學習她的謙卑與順服，在生活的挑戰中，依然能對天主說出那句充滿信心的「是的」。

Theme:The Blessed Virgin Mary — Mother of All Graces and Model of Faith
Introduction: With her "Fiat," Mary opened the curtain of salvation. As the first disciple of Jesus and the Mother of us all, this window captures her tenderness and holiness. She gazes lovingly at every child who comes to pray, guiding us closer to her Divine Son.
Scripture: "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." (Luke 1:28)
Artistic Appreciation
A Face of Compassion Through delicate etching techniques, the Blessed Mother’s tender and serene countenance is revealed. With her hands crossed over her chest, she manifests a spirit of absolute trust and humility.
Divine Halo The halo behind her head symbolizes her holiness and her being "full of grace." As natural light filters through, it enhances the sense of sacred solemnity.
An Image of Protection Positioned high on the left side of the main entrance, this image symbolizes the Blessed Mother as a loving mother, ceaselessly watching over the land of Minxiong and all the faithful.
Spiritual Reflection :Saint Thérèse had a deep longing for the Blessed Mother; she once said: "How I wish I could be the child of the Blessed Virgin." To Thérèse, Mary was not a distant Queen, but a mother who is closest to us and understands the heart of a child best.

As we gaze upon the image of the Blessed Mother, let us also learn from her humility and obedience. Amidst life’s challenges, may we still find the strength to say that faithful "Yes" to God.
