Reflecting on Mary



Before becoming Catholic, I always wondered why Mary was "honored" in the faith. After reading The Way of Mary - Following Her Footsteps Toward God by Mary Ford-Grabowsky, I understood more.

This book reflects on the events of Mary's life (from scripture) from the her saying "thy will be done" when asked to give birth out of wedlock, to giving birth in a stable, to the miracle at the wedding in Cana, and finally the death of her "baby boy". I have heard these scriptures, but never reflected on what Mary went through. This book actually makes you reflect, write and create wonderful works to get to know Mary better.


Mary is the mother of our Lord and mother to all people (according to Jesus' final words at the cross). So today, I honor our blessed Mother. Whom we can ask to interceded on our behalf for wisdom, guidance and strength.
