“…that good Mother makes herself so present and so near to her faithful servants, to enlighten them in their darkness and their doubt, to strengthen them in their fears, and to sustain them in their struggles and difficulties, that…this virginal path to find Jesus Christ is a path of roses and honey.”
-St. Louis Grignion de Montfort, True Devotion, 152
Today's Reflection
The definition for “helper” includes the idea of one who causes an improvement in a situation or person. How does this quote show Mary to be a helper? How can her very presence improve us or our situation? What might be the “roses” and “honey” that Mary uses to make our path to Jesus sweet even in trials and fears and setbacks? Have you experienced her maternal beatitude in this way? How?
