Our Lady of Ephesus
Each DHM’s spirituality is characterized by a deep abiding love for the Blessed Mother, the amazing woman who birthed and raised our Savior. We strive to follow her example of selflessly saying “Yes” to God, and opening our hearts to all of humanity as she did. As we pray in the Memorare, "we never hesitate to ask our Holy Mother for her assistance in prayer. Jesus heeds his mother’s requests, as seen at the Wedding Feast at Cana. In turn, we DHM have taken as one of our mottos the words she spoke back then, “Do whatever my Son tells you.”
