“Am I not here who am your mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the folds of my mantle, in the crossing of my Arms? Do you need anything more?

                                                – Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego

For Reflection:             

Just as Our Lady spoke these words to Juan Diego, she speaks them to each one of us as well. Which of the maternal images Mary provides most speaks to you? Why? How does this help you move forward in your confidence to entrust yourself to her? Consider that Mary says she is the “source” of our joy? Why is this so? Tomorrow’s GraceLine gives you one reason.
