We are all devoted to someone or something. Devotion is a good thing when it draws us out of ourselves to become a better person. When it comes to aspiring to a life of virtue, the Blessed Mother Mary is our spiritual mother who helps guide us down that path.
Devotion to Mother Mary is holy, it leads our soul to avoid sin and imitate her virtues: her profound humility, lively faith, blind obedience, her continual prayer, her universal mortification, her divine purity, her ardent charity, her heroic patience, her angelic sweetness and her divine wisdom. These ten principal virtues of the most holy Virgin bring the “good fruit” in our world, building God’s Kingdom. To who will you be devoted?
Dearest Mother Mary, Christ your Son learned to love from your loving example. Teach me to love in the same way. Instruct me in the way of your virtues. Help me to make use of every opportunity to grow in them. Never let me miss the opportunities life gives me to love and form myself in virtue. I always want to love the way you love.
