As we celebrate Mary, the Mother of God, we should remember what a blessing it is to have her as our own spiritual mother. She is our mediator, the Queen-Mother of heaven. She knows how best to present our needs before her Father, Son, and Spouse the Holy Trinity. She can make the smallest act of love into the most precious sacrifice. She knows how best to cleanse us when we have soiled our baptismal promises. She is full of grace and more than willing to help us to be full of grace, too. She gives us an example of what it means to follow God’s Will no matter what He asks us to do. God’s face shines upon us because she choose to give Him her eternal “Yes!” We would do well to echo that same fiat in our own lives. Then, God will look kindly upon us and give us peace because we remind Him of His beloved Mother.
Do we give thanks to God for giving us Mary as our Heavenly Mother? Do we seek her intercession when we are in need? How can we model our lives after hers?
O Lord, through your mother you have blessed us.
Amen.
