“[Mary] being obedient, became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race.” 

                                                                      St. Irenaeus

For Reflection:

How was Mary’s obedience to God demonstrated throughout Scripture? On a scale of 1 -10, and using the Ten Commandments and the teachings of the Church as the standard, where do I gauge my obedience to God’s will? What one step can I take today to move it up the scale?
