Mary Prayer
In October we take time to contemplate the person of Mary.
When thinking of Mary, we often see the imagery and forget the strength. The strength it took a young woman to say yes to God in the face of dangers. A yes that could have led to her death at the hands of the people she grew up with, for the law would have meant she would be stoned to death if found to be pregnant and unwed. A yes that saw her follow her beloved son through the streets of Jerusalem, and watch him die one of the most torturous deaths.
Mary bore all with grace and at the same time an unshakeable strength.
