Procrastinator
that I am, I have to write this in the ½ hour before Mass begins. That’s not to say I haven’t been meditating
on it all week, but that I just couldn’t (or wouldn’t) find the time to put it
all down in a timely manner.
Happy Mother’s Day, MOM!
As I
meditated on motherhood in general and what you mean to me, I can’t help but
start meditating on our Blessed Mother as well!
What a great honor our Lord holds towards motherhood!
He honors it
so much He made sure His own mother was present at the three most significant
periods in the history of salvation—His birth, His Passion, death and
resurrection, and at Pentecost, when He sent His Holy Spirit upon the
Apostles.
God the
Father honored motherhood so greatly that He became Incarnate through an
earthly mother! God trusted Mary since
before her conception to teach her son in his humanity to know, love and trust
in Him and to set the example for all other mothers who followed.
There are
lots of mothers in the world who aren’t appreciated for who they are or their
importance to God’s eternal plan. I just
wanted you to know that all of your children (especially me—since I’m your
favorite [lol]) do appreciate and love you for the gift of life you helped God
to create.
Sorry for
the brevity, but you have to know how much I love you. As Mary taught her Child in His humanity how
to love and serve the Lord, so you have taught me, which gives you a special place in God's heart.
May the
Almighty God bless you especially today, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen
