MEDITATION
Every mother is love made visible, an abode of tender affection and undying fidelity. Because a true mother loves, even when she is not loved in return. Mary is the Mother! In her, womanhood is unalloyed, and love is not poisoned by the waves of selfishness that constrict and smother human hearts. Mary is the Mother! Her heart faithfully accompanies the heart of her Son, shares in his sufferings, carries his cross, and itself feels the pain of every wound inflicted on the body of her Son. Mary is the Mother! She continues to be a Mother, for us, for ever!
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, we all need a Mother! We need a love that is faithful and true. We need a love that never wavers, a love that is a sure refuge at times of fear, at times of pain and trial.
Lord Jesus, we need women: wives and mothers who can restore to our world the fair face of humanity.
Lord Jesus, we need Mary: the woman, the wife and the mother, who never cheapens or refuses love!
Lord Jesus, we pray to you for all the women of the world!
