While I'm babysitting, my one-year-old granddaughter loves to look at the pictures on my wall, especially the ones of her mom. Several times a day, we go over to the wall, and she smiles when she sees her mom. It makes my granddaughter, Angelina, so happy to gaze at her mother's face. It is reassuring for her to remember her mother's love, even when she can't see her. Then she turns her attention to another wall. Next, she points to my picture of Mary, and we say "Hi" to our mother in Heaven too. My granddaughter may not yet understand how blessed she is to have Mary as her heavenly mother. Still, she is filled with happiness, gazing at Mary.
Tomorrow we will celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary! What a glorious day! Mary is assumed body and soul into Heaven and is crowned Queen. God is so generous with His love. He celebrates Mary's pure heart by allowing us to be loved by her as well.
I encourage everyone to spend some quiet time with Mary tomorrow. Find a way to gaze upon the beauty of her soul. Let her love heal and strengthen you. Talk to her heart to heart. Don't be afraid to ask her for a little motherly advice. It would bring her great joy!
