“Just as two friends, frequently in each other’s company, tend to develop similar habits, so too, by holding familiar converse with Jesus and the Blessed Virgin, by meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary and by living the same life in Holy Communion, we can become, to the extent of our lowliness, similar to them…”                          ~Blessed Bartolo Longo

For Reflection: What evidence have I seen in my own life that friends take on each other’s habits and characteristics? If I learn to enter deeply into the mysteries of the Rosary, then, I too, can become similar to Mary and Jesus. How does this enhance my desire to meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary?

The Queen Mother:  In John's Gospel, we see that when Jesus is on the cross, His mother and the disciple whom Jesus loved were there with Him.  Jesus then said to His mother, "Woman behold your son," and to the disciple He said, "Behold your mother" (John 19:25-27).
