Behold Thy Mother

One of Our Lord’s last words…

Think of that. Before He bowed His Head and gave up the Ghost, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity bequeathed His Immaculate Mother to you and to me and to His Holy Church.

I began praying the Incarnation Novena this evening. At the end of the version I’m praying there is a little line of text containing several verses of thanksgiving for the gifts God has given us. I felt inspired to tack on, “And for the gift of Thy Most Holy Mother…”

As you trudge on through Holy Week, remember how it ended. He died on the cross and descended to the depths of hell to free the just and open paradise for us while she remained on earth as THE Church. Then think about what she told us at Akita. “In the end the only things that you will have to protect you are the rosary and the sign of my Son.”

Behold thy Mother!

You can never love her more, as St. Louis de Montfort says, than her Son does.
