Following Father's Example

Trusting Mary

“We are called to imitate the Father, and the Father entrusted everything to Mary: His beloved Son.  We are to follow this example and give ourselves fully to Mary.

What does giving ourselves to Our Lady mean?  It means going to Jesus and accepting the gift He has bestowed on us:  The gift of His Mother.  It means taking her into all our affairs, concerns, worries, and tasks - letting go of ourselves and being formed anew as children, by Mary.  We can learn to think and live as she, the Immaculate, does.  We can be in Mary’s “school” through daily recitation of the Rosary.  We can talk to her confidently as her children in prayer, entrusting to her our concerns; we can meditate on the Word of God with her, asking her to teach us how to trust and live her fiat at each moment.  We can learn about her virtues, so as to live as she did.

If we are called to a life of trust, from whom shall we learn but from Mary, for how did Jesus learn to trust in ABBA in His humanity, if not from her?”
 ( Stepping On The Serpent: The Journey of Trust with Mary p112)

Make this Christmas Season especially fruitful by placing your trust in our Heavenly Mother as Jesus did.  She wants to help.
