O Lord today is the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. And You remind us to give ourselves to Mary and to walk in Her ways. That we have a Mother who knows us and loves us and wants to helps us in all of our difficulties so that we would be closer to You. A Mother that notices all the details as she did at the Wedding at Cana and reminds us always to do whatever You tell us. Thank You Lord for the gift of Your Mother- may we faithfully listen to Her lessons to pray from the heart every day and meditate on all of the acts of Redemption in the Most Holy Rosary!
