In Times of Loneliness, Look Up: A Mother's Day Reflection
www.missiodeicatholic.org
Mother’s day 2020 was a day of deep reflection for me. We had just moved back to my childhood home in Alabama in March of 2020 and I was to give birth to our third child in July. There was a lot going on. We had moved down right as the pandemic had caused everything to shut down, including all the churches. We had planned on finding a fellowship here so that we could make connections. Friends.
I read something today in Saint Louis de Montefort’s “Consecration to Mary” that just jumped into my heart. It was about the rosary and the greeting “Hail, Mary.” I thought about what it would be like to have Mary introduce her son to me. “Kelly, let me introduce to you my son - Jesus Christ.” My son. Who else called him His Son? The God of the universe. I feel like I’m only scratching the surface with the understanding of the devotion to our Blessed Mother.

Absolutely beautiful. ❤️
