"Blessed are the paps that gave Thee suck."
"Yea, rather, blessed are those that hear the word and keep it."
[27] And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck. [28] But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it." -- Luke 11:27-28
Dear Mother of God,
Chosen by God the Father to be the sacred instrument by which He chose to have his only son take on human flesh and b e brought into the world, you gave birth to God the Son. In his person. Christ is God and not man, but he has two natures hypostatically united: one divine, one human. We ought to always keep before our minds that you have the highest dignity of any human creature, and are, therefore, by your "Fiat!" to God's design, you ought to be both our greatest, Christian role model and advocate.
Spouse of the Holy Ghost, pray for us. Be our advocate in all our needs, but especially that we may grow in holy obedience as you remind the servants at the Wedding Feast of Cana to, "Do whatever he tells you."
