Mary's Prayer

Mary’s prayer is her constant gift to us. She does not ask the Redeemer for anything opposed to the reign of God and therefore opposed to our best interests. We must remember that Mary’s sole interest is to draw us to Christ and to make us fully a part of his Kingdom. Like every mother, Mary has set her hopes in us! She prays that ‘the Father will see and love in us what he sees and loves in Christ.’ The woman who stood near the cross now stands near the Lamb. She stands at the forefront of the immense multitude of people. Her every intercession is that we live in Christ Jesus.
