"Devotion to Mary is much like the love of a child for its mother, since after all, every devotion to Mary is love for our heavenly mother."
-Emil Neubert, SM, STD
Today’s Reflection:
Do you think of Marian devotion as an act of love for your heavenly mother? As you pray your rosary, Hail Mary or put on your scapular today, think of how much Our Blessed Mother loves you and share with her
your love and devotion.

-Emil Neubert, SM, STD
Today’s Reflection:
Are you ready to help conquer the world for Christ? Then be prepared to suffer in union with Him. Like Christ and our Blessed Mother, all true apostles have understood the redemptive value of suffering.

"As a Christian, you are a witness of Christ; therefore give testimony to Him!"
-Emil Neubert, SM, STD
Today’s Reflection:
No one can argue with your own testimony because it's yours. In the Women of Grace Foundational Study we teach participants the short formula, "I was... Jesus did...I am." Think about your life of conversion and compose your testimony so that you can share the reason for your hope, the next time the opportunity presents itself.

"Pray! Pray! Undertake nothing without prayer!"
-Emil Neubert, SM, STD
Today’s Reflection:
Many a marvelous work for the Lord has crumbled because it was not sustained by prayer. It is the most effective and easiest form of apostolate. Do you pray as if your work, especially your work as a member of the Church Militant, depended on it?

In his book,
Queen of Militants, Father Emil Neubert teaches Christian militants that no attempt to spread the message of salvation to a soul should be attempted without prayer. But once we've done so, he lays out a plan on how to evangelize like Christ in a way that only Mary can teach us.

"To be courageous is sometimes hard; but to persevere to the very end is a hundred times harder."
-Emil Neubert, SM, STD
Today’s Reflection:
How many of us have deserted the cause of Christ during times of trial, temptation, reversal, or suffering? Even St. Peter denied Jesus three times. Knowing this, let us resolve to begin again with greater receptivity, trust and surrender through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
