When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Written by Paul McCartney this became one of The Beatles' most iconic and remembered ballads, “Let It Be”. It presents an uplifting and comforting message that reflects a desire for peace and acceptance in the face of life’s challenges.
The Catholic Church dedicates the entire month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of God and spiritual mother of all. Mary's life and role in the history of salvation is foreshadowed in the Old Testament, while the events of her life are recorded in the New Testament. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is more than just the mother of Christ; she is a symbol of faith, love, and total trust in God's will. Her "yes" to God, through the archangel Gabriel, changed the course of history. Through her humble consent, God entered the world, and redemption began.
Mary is not just a figure from the past; she is alive in heaven, constantly praying for us. we often ask for her intercession, trusting that as a loving mother, she brings our prayers to Jesus. When we pray the Hail Mary, we are asking her to pray for us "now and at the hour of our death."
In her life, Mary embodies all that it means to be a follower of Christ: humility, faith, courage, and above all, love. She points us toward her Son and reminds us that no matter how difficult life may become, God's grace is always with us. Mary's powerful example teaches us to trust God fully and to embrace His will, knowing that His love never fails.
I didn’t know Mary until I was 40ish; I grew up in a home where Mary was mentioned only once or twice at Christmas. It wasn’t until I became Catholic that I began to understand Mary, motherhood and Jesus. Mary is more than a mythical or symbolical creature written about only in the Bible. Mary was a real human being. Just as Jesus was. For the first 9 months of his life, Mary’s body nourished Jesus, while Her blood coursed through Jesus’s veins giving him life. Sounds kinda like the Eucharist, Jesus body nourishing us and his blood giving us everlasting life.
In just over a week we will be celebrating Mothers Day. Through all the celebrations, parties and special dinners, let us not forget our Blessed Mother. Remember Her uplifting and comforting message that reflects a desire for peace and acceptance in the face of life’s challenges; and pray the Rosary.
