Day 6: Mother of Divine Grace

 +JMJ+

As the Angel Gabriel proclaimed rightly, "Hail Mary, FULL of GRACE," every soul would do well to give himself to your care, dearest Mother.  Not only were you united to Christ for the 9 months before his birth, but also for the 33 years of his life having taken the flesh of man united to his divine nature.  You inspire by your command to the servants to "Do whatever he tells you," but also in the mystical reality resulting from your continued intercession by the means of your prayers.  This is because you never refuse to pray for what good things a soul requests that they may please your son.  Your intercession proves always especially favored by God, inspiring strength and will in the smallest, daily tasks to the most challenging calls in manhood.  Even our Lord, who was not in need of grace, promptly began his public ministry at your request on behalf of those at the marriage feast of Cana, servants of God benefit from your intercession,  by continued miracles of graces given to them by God won by your prayers. Proof of God's favor of you continues by how He answers your prayers on the behalf of souls, as you take on as your own children, even the most hardened sinners, converting their hearts and and minds to holy obedience.
