Mother Mary, Full of Grace for the Whole World

The saints teach us that Mother Mary was not filled with grace only for herself, but for all people. Many holy souls have received special graces from God to help and guide others, but Mother Mary was given a fullness of grace unlike anyone else because she was chosen to help bring salvation to the whole world through her Son, Jesus Christ.

God filled her heart with heavenly gifts so completely that she became a loving channel through which His mercy and blessings could flow to His children. Because she belonged so perfectly to God, she was made ready to carry Jesus into the world and to lead souls gently toward Him.

The holy writers also tell us that God has entrusted many treasures of grace to Mother Mary’s care. In His goodness, He often chooses to let His blessings come to us through her loving hands, because she is the Mother closest to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

During this beautiful Month of Mary, let us remember that our heavenly Mother desires to help every soul draw nearer to God. When we pray to her with trust and simplicity, she gently brings our needs before her divine Son and watches over us with tender care.
