Mary,
who is full of grace and close to her Son,
always hears us when we call to her. She hears us now, at
this very moment; and when we come to the last moment of our life. We trust her to care for us as she cared
then
for
the newly married couple at Cana in Galilee. Mary will always bring Christ
into our life.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
Blessed are thou among
women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus who answers our
prayers.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Missioned
"They have no
wine."
His eyes met hers;
Received the message.
His time had come.
Just as she birthed His tiny body
So she birthed His tremendous mission.
She has pondered in her heart,
The Spirit living within her.
She did not know everything.
Neither did He.
If so, would she have spoken,
Would she have delivered the Father's message?
"Be it done unto me"
In this second birth as in the first.
For this I bore Him.
Sustained by that same grace
She gave him up for us.
