27. Narration :-
“Do whatever he tells you.”
These are the last words that Mary speaks in the gospels.
“Do whatever he tells you.”
This sums up the mission of Mary’s life. Her goal is to turn people’s hearts toward
Jesus, her son. Nothing pleases Mary more than leading people to
Jesus. Nothing pleases her more than seeing you and me follow in the ways of
Jesus. All authentic devotion to Mary ends with a deeper relationship with Christ.

Loving God, you chose to enter the world through the
body of a woman. You chose to be loved and cared for by
an earthly mother. What a blessing it is for us to have a
God who knows the ways of family life. We thank you for
choosing Mary as our mother who gives us comfort by
praying for us unceasingly as an expression of her great
love for us, her earthly children. May each of us come to
know her and to love her as you know and love her. We
ask this prayer in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
