Mary's Loving Embrace

It can be seen that the children themselves recognize her as their mother. A natural instinct, inspired by faith, prompts them to have recourse to her in all dangers and difficulties, invoking her and taking refuge in her arms like little ones running to their mother. To this day we dwell in the shelter of the mother of the Most High, remaining under her protection as it were beneath the shadow of her wings. And in the days to come we shall share in her glory; we shall know the warmth of her loving embrace. Then there will be one joyful voice proclaiming the praise of our mother: Holy Mother of God, in you we all find our home! ~Blessed Guerric of Igny

Dear Mary, Mother most wonderful, how good it is to take refuge in you! And how lovely to have this whole month of May devoted to you! I will try to do something special each day in love and honor of you -- and in doing so, with you I will love and honor your Beloved Son, the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Amen.
