Mary, I look at you and I say thank you. Thank you for carrying Jesus, giving birth to him, raising him and accepting his death for us. Mary, I look at you and I admire you.

I admire your faith, your meditative silence, your way of doing exactly what the Lord expected of you.

Mary, I look at you and I beg you to help me To understand Jesus well, To hear his calls, To go all the way with what he is asking of me at this moment".
