For Reflection:
In what circumstance is this knowledge necessary for me today? What virtue of the Blessed Virgin do I need to ask God to give me that peace might come?
Amazing Grace
“It would have been unbearable [for Mary] to hold that infant Son in her arms, knowing that He must go away to a life of suffering and a cruel death, were it not for her faith in His Heavenly Father, were it not for the certainty that the hands of God would always be holding Him, and that God’s hands, incredible though it seemed, would hold Him even more tenderly, even more securely, than hers. This knowledge is necessary for every mother’s peace.
