The Life of Mary

Blessed Virgin Mary most perfectly embodies the

obedience of faith.

Mary welcomed the message and promise brought to

her by the angel Gabriel, believing that with Godnothing will be impossible

Throughout her life and when Jesus her son died on the

cross, Marys faith never wavered. She never ceased

to believe in the fulfillment of Gods word

Where do we find Jesus?

Through His Mother

When we ask Mary for help or

assistance, we can trust that she

presents our prayers to her Son.

Jesus loves His mother and wasobedient to her throughout His

life. We believe that Jesus will

listen to His mother in the same

way in heaven.

Wedding Feast at CanaOn the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee,

and the mother of Jesus was there.2Jesus and hisdisciples had also been invited to the wedding.3Whenthe wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him,They have no wine.4And Jesus said to her,Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? Myhour has not yet come.5

His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells

you.6Now standing there were six stone water-jarsfor the Jewish rites of purification, each holdingtwenty or thirty gallons.7Jesus said to them, Fill thejars with water. And they filled them up to thebrim.8He said to them, Now draw some out, andtake it to the chief steward. So they took it.9Whenthe steward tasted the water that had become wine,and did not know where it came from (though theservants who had drawn the water knew), the stewardcalled the bridegroom10and said to him, Everyoneserves the good wine first, and then the inferior wineafter the guests have become drunk. But you havekept the good wine until now.

Prayers: Rosary

~*The Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed VirginMary*~

Rosary means a crown of roses, a spiritual bouquet

given to the Blessed Mother. While the hands and lips are occupied with the

prayers the mind meditates on the mysteries of theIncarnation and Redemption represented by the

decades. In this way the heart, mind, and soul of theChristian is formed according to the Gospel examplesof the Saviour and His First Disciple, His Mother.
