Today my thoughts are turned to Mary, our spiritual mother. Like most moms, she allows herself to be in the background of her children's life. She is always there protecting, nurturing, and guiding her children. Her children just expect her to be there. They often take for granted her love, her example, and her faith. I worry when people are content to let Mary just be in the background of their lives. Sometimes backgrounds can fade. Don't let your love for Mary fade into the background of your life. Instead, take her hand in yours and ask her to walk beside you each moment of your life. Make time to talk with her-she gives amazing advice. And. if you close your eyes and watch her pray, it is the most beautiful sight you will ever see. Don't let to day go by without telling her how much you love her. Nothing sounds sweeter to a mother than the words, "I love you, Mom!"
