Month of Mary 26 – Mary’s Preparation (cont.)

Month of Mary #26 ( 06min) Play - Today we continue reflecting on Our Lord's preparation of Mary for Her role as spiritual mother and mediatrix. We focus on the Wedding at Cana, examining St. John Paul II's teaching from paragraphs 21 and 22 from his encyclical Redemptoris Mater (bit.ly/RedemptorisMater). We can take three points away for our meditation, (1) Mary's role is not by necessity, but by the will of God, (2) Mary needs servants to carry out the will of God under Her direction, and (3) Mary's mediation is in union with and subordinate to the one mediation of Jesus Christ, Her savior and ours.

Today's Prayer: Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary. Remind me to ask for Mary's powerful intercession in my times of need.

Ave Maria!
