Today I was thinking about a beautiful line from the holy Apostle Saint Paul, and I wanted to share it with you. He said so bravely, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel.” I like to imagine how strong and peaceful his heart must have been to say that so clearly.
From his words, we can learn something very gentle for ourselves. Just as Saint Paul was not ashamed of Our Lord’s Gospel, we should never feel shy about loving Our Blessed Mother. We can say it quietly and happily in our own hearts: we are not ashamed to belong to Mary—to be her little children and her devoted servants.
And do you know something lovely, Kathy? When we love her like that, we are not doing anything strange or new at all. We are simply loving her the same way the Church always has. Our hearts begin to match the heart of the Church, and that is a very safe and beautiful place to be.
So whenever you say your prayers, or even when you just think of her, you may remember that you belong to Our Lady, and you need never be afraid of that.
With all my love,
Sister Mary Claire and also - Thank you for the beautiful prayer recording.
