The sacrificial love that Mary displayed in being the Mother of Jesus, made her the first Disciple on earth and culminated in her Queenship in heaven. Her fidelity in journeying with Jesus throughout His ministry to the cross and witnessing His resurrection, is both a source of hope for us and an affirmation of our own faith in Christ.
Our faith journey involves our growth in the ways of the Lord and attracting others to Him. Through the power of the Spirit, we at times radiate His light and inspire others to draw close to our Lord. But like the Scribes and Pharisees (Mt. 23:13-22), our weaknesses are barriers to the Kingdom. Let us live to inherit our own crown of life.
Lord Jesus, You call us to carry our cross in this life so that we can wear our crown in the life to come. May the Queenship of Your Mother inspire us to walk closely with You. Amen.
Blessings,
Fr. Howie
