How Blessed Mary Longs To Be Our Mother
Marian Garden: Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church in Austin, TX
For those of you who have wounded and strained relationships with your mother…
For those who've lost your mother and grieve for her...
If the sentiment of motherhood is bittersweet for you, don't be disheartened.
You can find solace as we turn our hearts towards Holy Mary - mother of God, mother of our Church, and mother to us all.
Remember we have a Heavenly mother who longs to love us.
Jesus offered us his own mother to be the mother of our Church and to be each of our mother.
“Behold, your mother!"
JOHN 19:27
So if you have a hole in your heart for missing your mother, be the mother that you long for.
Let Mother Mary teach you how to give others the motherly love that you don’t have.
Even if it’s not to your own children. You can still nurture others in a motherly way - your friends, family members, strangers, even your beloved pets.
If you want to feel the healing power of motherly love and affection, nurture your loved ones in ways you always wanted to feel.
That darkness and sorrow in your heart from not having the kind of mother that you always wanted will then get healed, by being the kind of mother you longed for yourself, by being a mother like Blessed Mary.
Remember our blessed Mother Mary longs to care for you and show you how to love with grace.
Look at her peaceful gaze as she looks at you. She loves you as her own child.
She offers you the purest, kindest, most compassionate and loving heart.
So don’t resist her love.
Open your heart and experience her tender, unconditional maternal love, so that motherly ache in your heart can be filled and healed.
