May... Month of Our Lady

Mary’s Hope

Mary, more than anyone, has hoped for and confidently awaited salvation. She did not trust in her own resources, but put all her confidence in God alone. And God...fulfilled her hopes, not only by showering his gifts on her, but by giving himself to her in all his plenitude. Mary’s hope was truly absolute and unshakable, even in the darkest and most difficult moments.

How poor our hope is compared to that of our Blessed Mother! The darkness frightens us, trials make us irresolute and sometimes, perhaps even doubt in God’s assistance. The Virgin Mary shows us the only way to real security, serenity and interior peace, even in the most difficult circumstances: the way of total confidence in God.”
