Scripture, Reflection & Prayer 10/24/2008

Jesus went down with Mary and Joseph and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them; and his mother treasured all these things carefully in her heart.
- Lk 2:51

Reflection: In imitation of Jesus, Christians should love Mary and think the best of her. They should take her as their Mother and love, serve, wait upon her, and like Jesus be completely obedient to her.
- St. Anthony Claret

Prayer: O Mary, increase my love and regard for you as my Mother. Help me to serve you in all things for in doing so I will be serving and obeying your Divine Son.
