Virtue of the Month: Fortitude
Saint of the Month: St. Athanasius
How is Mary a model of discipleship? Of all those who came to know and follow Jesus as Lord, only his first disciple - Mary his Mother - would follow Him with perfect, pure, and unfailing faith. It is in following Mary's example that we will find a deeper union with God as we seek eternal life. "Let it be done to me according to your word." This "fiat" became the model by which the faithful continue to serve. By humbling ourselves before Him, by believing and trusting in a God we cannot see, by praying, "Lord, thy will be done," we are uttering our own fiat, and modelling the faith of Mary, who despite her fear, placed all her trust in God. (catholicdigest.com) Mother Mary, please pray for all mothers that united to your son, Jesus, and through the gift of motherhood, they may find deeper union with God in their fiat. Amen. |
