Breath Of Heaven

As we enter this month of May, we think about Mother's Day, but we also should be thinking about Mary. She is especially honored during this month. May Crownings often take place. Special emphasis is put on the Rosary. And there are other ways to honor our Heavenly Mother.
As women, Mary is and should be an example to us; an example of love, of faith, and of bravery. She had a great love for her family, and for those around her. She had a great faith and when she was told by God that she had a very special task ahead of her, she said yes. She didn't question anything. Yes she had some fear, but she trusted God. She trusted His will. She trusted that God knew what was best for her in her life. And even though that's not easy, it's something we need to do.
Mary also endured a great deal of sorrow and pain as she watched her Son, her flesh and blood go through more suffering than anyone should endure. But she had faith. She understood why it was happening. Was it easy? Would any Mother feel the same way? Yes. But she had great faith. Anc it's up to us as Mothers, as women, as friends, and more importantly as daughters of God to look to her, to pray to her, to think about her example and honor her.
