What an amazing
gift God gave to Mary and the whole human race! She is the New Eve and Mother
of the New Adam. She is a model of what it means to say Yes to the Will of God.
We can learn a lot from Mary’s life of humble service to her God, her son, and
his disciples. We can take solace in the knowledge that she is our Spiritual
Mother and our Gateway to Heaven.
How often do we
turn to Mary in our times of need? Do we model our lives after her, who so
perfectly modeled her most admirable life on the Living Gospel? When do we
spend quality time with our Heavenly Mother as we would our own earthly
mothers?
O Lord, you have
given us a perfect mother and model in Mary. Grant us the fullness of grace we
need to bear you into the world as your Most Holy Mother did before us.
Amen.
