Ave Maria Meditations
Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. (Isaiah 49:15). These words of the Lord are echoed in Mary’s maternal heart. A mother does not forget; a mother does not abandon; a mother never takes the tenderness of her heart away from her unfortunate and ungrateful child; but even if a mother does forget and abandon her child, Mary does not. And her love, maternal tenderness and the victorious power of divine love merge, for her tenderness is the most exquisite fruit of the Earth and the perfect reflection of heaven’s love.
Venerable Archbishop Luis Maria Martinez
