Blessed Mother

A MOTHER’S ROLE
A woman becomes a mother by bringing a child into the world. This is meant to happen within the Sacrament of Marriage with a mother and a father who love each other the way God intended. But the work of a mother does not end when her baby is born; her work is just beginning. A mother loves and nurtures, protects and teaches her children. She wants only good for her children because she loves them.

God, in His great wisdom, uses us little human beings in His plan of salvation. The Virgin Mary was chosen from among all women to be the mother of Jesus, the mother of the Word made flesh. Mary bore Jesus in her womb for nine months; she is “theotokos” the God-bearer. Mary is the mother of Jesus, the mother of our Savior.
Holy Mary, Mother of God.


At Cana, Mary pointed the world to her Son when she told the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” A good son, Jesus has obeyed the commandments and honored His Mother! This is a foreshadowing of the time – when on the cross – Jesus gives His Mother to all of us. And what does our Blessed Mother tell us to do? Do whatever Jesus tells us!

Throughout the centuries, Jesus has continued to send His Mother to the world, she made full of grace, who always leads us to her Son.
