Today is the Blessed Mother’s Birthday. Well last night for Lily’s birthday, her grandparents took us all out to dinner. While walking into the bathroom, Lily lovingly looked at me and said, “You’re the best mom in the world for me.” Then she seemed to be thinking for a moment and added, “I guess the best mother ever was the Blessed Mother.” I had to agree with her. It is amazing when you consider that God the Father picked Mary out of all the women who have ever lived to be the mother of His Son, Jesus. Having been raised as a Presbyterian, I didn’t grown up thinking much about Mary. I didn’t think ill of her. I just never gave her much thought. As a converted Catholic, I am glad to have come to know Our Lady. She is the Queen of heaven and I am happy to call her “Mother”.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
