ON THE COVER To celebrate Mary during the month of May, I thought this image of our lady was appropriate to celebrate our joy with which the people of Aotearoa received the Good News of Mary’s son with great joy. As an Easter people, we have been gifted Mary as our mother by Jesus. Hopefully this issue of the Kete Korero brings you closer into relationship with the one who is “blessed above all women”.
