“Christians call upon Mary as “Helper,” recognizing her motherly love which sees her children’s needs and is ready to come to their aid, especially when their eternal salvation is at stake.”

                                                                                   Pope John Paul II

For Reflection:             

Nothing draws on the strings of a mother’s heart more than a child in need. What does this say about those moments in your life when your needs are greatest? How do you think Mary responds when she sees a child in the greatest peril of all – possible damnation? Who are you most concerned about today? What would Mary have you do?
