Scripture, Reflection & Prayer 10/27/2008

He who provides for his father atones for sins; and he who respects his mother stores up riches.
- Sir 3:3-4

Reflection: As the Mother of Christ, Mary is the Mother of our wisdom and justice, of our holiness and redemption. She is more our Mother than the mother of our flesh.
- St. Aelred

Prayer: O Mary, you are the Spiritual Mother of all Christians. Help me to be your devoted child by remaining true to my Church and to her teachings, which come from your Divine Son.
