With Mary
Becoming like Mary
1. Become humble like Mary
Mary remembered that all that was in her was a gift from God. She kept secret, even from her husband, all the celestial favours that she was granted. She told God about the praise she received. She took pleasure in helping others and to remain in the background. She didn't fear scorn: we didn't see her in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, when the people welcomed her Son with so much praise, but she wasn't afraid to appear on Calvary where she was recognised as the mother of the condemned man.
Saint Catherine, you kept secret the wonderful grace of having seen the Blessed Virgin. Pray for me when I put myself before others.
O Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God and Our Mother, you who dislikes pride, bathe me with your humility.
And remember… my special intention…
Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be…
