Living The Gospel this week. The role of Mary in our Christian faith
Dear brothers and sisters, reflecting on the gospel of this Sunday, I wanted to meditate on the role of the blessed Virgin, Mary. At Cana she notices that the wine has run out and asks Jesus to help. Her faith and care for others are evident in her actions. (John 2:5)
Mary’s request to Jesus shows her trust in His ability to help. She serves as an example of faith and intercession. Just as she asked Jesus to help at the wedding, we can ask her to intercede for us with her Son.
“The greatest saints, those richest in grace and virtue will be the most assiduous in praying to the most Blessed Virgin, looking up to her as the perfect model to imitate and as a powerful helper to assist them.” Saint Louis Marie de Montfort
