Today is the birthday of Mary, mother of Jesus.
I read an article this morning of the Popes prayers and his asking for her intercession.
Finally, Pope Benedict implored Mary to: "Console those who weep, who
suffer for human injustice; support those who waver under the burden of
fatigue and look to the future without hope; encourage those who work
to build a better world in which justice many triumph and fraternity
reign, in which egoism, hatred and violence may end. May every form and
expression of violence be overcome by the pacifying power of Christ.”
In my life I know if it were not for Mary leading me always to her Son, I would have strayed many a time. She gently guides us to His heart and like any good Mother keeps us from evil if we entrust ourselves to her care.
Happy Birthday Mary!
