GREECE
Father Georgios Dagas
"Mary means everything."
Eastern Church hymn: "What shall we offer you, O Christ, who for our sakes has appeared on earth as a man. Every creature which you have made offers you thanks. The angels offer you a song, the heavens their star, the wise men their gifts, the shepherds their wonder, the earth its cave, the wilderness a manger and we offer you a Virgin Mother.
Father Georgios's 'Man for Others' is Monsignor Ettore Malnati.

"The Virgin Mary is by far the most important person in the Kingdom of God after Christ. Everything has been given to her and she's the perfect example of her Son within the love of the Father. This is something that both unites the Church with mankind and mankind with the Church. Insofar as our mother Mary was made immaculate, we must realise that this is the greatest gift that humanity can be made, because we all essentially need a spiritual mother who is immaculate in order to be able to live of the fullness of God."
