Mary’s love is truly a selfless gift. She loved with her whole heart, humbly served others when they needed it most, and remained faithful amid suffering. She loved not just in the good times but in all times-even when it must have been unbearable heart ache.
Mary’s faithful presence and love throughout Jesus’ life in joyous occasions, witnessing miracles, and even during sorrowful times demonstrates her pure trust in and love for God. Our gift of love in good times and sorrowful times strengthens our faith and leads us closer to Christ.
Mary’s example of selfless love helps us to consider:
Do I remain faithful to God during the difficult times too?
How can I intentionally increase my faith and trust in God?
What can I do today to:
Love others with humility
Trust in God’s will
Be faithful during the most difficult times
Mary, help me to love as you loved with humility, compassion, and hope.
