Last week we celebrated the feast of Our Lady’s Assumption—Mary was the courageous young girl willing to face the censure of her contemporaries by bearing a child whose origins could not be explained; the mother who could foresee the needs of others and asked her son to intervene, as she did at the marriage at Cana; and the mother courageous enough to stand silently at her son’s side as he died, while many of his followers hid themselves in fear. Mary was rewarded in the Assumption and Coronation as Queen—but she had first to give of herself for the benefit of others. How can I imitate Mary in my daily activities?
