The Virgin Mary, who believed in the Lord's Word, did not lose her faith in God when she saw her Son rejected, offended and put on a cross. Rather she stayed with Jesus, suffering and praying, to the end. And she saw the radiant sunrise of his resurrection. Let us learn from her to bear witness to our faith with a life of humble service, ready to suffer personally to remain faithful to the Gospel of charity and truth, certain that nothing of what we do will be lost. Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus message of 9/13/09
Dear Mary, teach me how to be one with your crucified Son as you were, how to stay with Him and with all our brothers and sisters in their pain and sorrow. May I always walk with you in the light of your Son's resurrection. Amen.
