Let Mary Guide You Through Holy Week
"He is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and a sword shall pierce your own heart." Luke 2:24-25
As Catholics prepare to enter into the holiest of weeks on our liturgical calendar, we look to Mary as our example and our guide. She is the model of perfect discipleship as she never left the side of Jesus and suffered along with Him. Just as she walked with Christ as He carried His cross to Calvary, she will walk with you as you come to the end of your Lenten journey.
Reflect: “…The Divine Redeemer wishes to penetrate the soul of every sufferer through the heart of His Holy Mother, the first and most exalted of all the redeemed. As though by a continuation of that motherhood which by the power of the Holy Spirit had given Him life, the dying Christ conferred upon the ever Virgin Mary a new kind of motherhood – spiritual and universal – towards all human beings, so that every individual, during the pilgrimage of faith, might remain, together with her, closely united to Him unto the cross, and so that every form of suffering, given fresh life by the power of this cross, should become no longer the weakness of man but the power of God.” - St. John Paul II
Pray: Blessed Mother, take my suffering and give me the strength to allow my weaknesses to reveal the power of God.
Because Mary always leads us to Jesus, when we come to her in prayer we will grow in knowledge and love of Our Savior.
So many Catholics fail to realize what a gift we have in our Blessed Mother. Power In My Hands is a newly released film that unveils the beauty of the Holy Rosary through scripture, theology, and personal testimonies. People worldwide have begun to take up this devotion because of this inspirational film.
