Motherhood of Mary
 
 

When Jesus saw his mother,
and the disciple whom he loved standing near,
he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"
Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!"
And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.

Gospel of John 19:26-27

In this passage in the Gospel of John, Jesus dying on the Cross tells "the disciple" to behold his Mother Mary.
It seems that Jesus is referring to John, but the actual words are "the disciple."
And so, in that instant, Mary becomes Mother of all disciples of Jesus, including those in our own time who follow Jesus.

One of our favorite prayers to Mary  the “Hail Mary”  (or Ave Maria). The Scriptural basis for the Hail Mary is from the Gospel of Luke [1:26-42] where she is greeted with these very words by the Archangel Gabriel. Her intercessory role in the second part of the prayer is based on her mediation at the wedding feast of Cana, recorded in the Gospel of John [2:1-12].

Mary is our model of Love and Mercy,
who intercedes with her Son Jesus for us, her children on earth.

Mary serves as the perfect example of motherhood for our modern world.

Mary is our beloved mother and we are blessed, proud and happy to have her!

 

“HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY” MARY !
