Today we celebrate Mother's Day. The value of a mother's love and the enormous depth of her commitment to her children is immeasureable. No relationship can ever be as close or as profound. Mary was given us as Mother at the foot of the cross. She showers us with attention, as a true mother would, with a vision toward helping us in our relationship with her Son, Jesus Christ. May Our Lady, in whose eyes we are so special, always lead us to her divine Son and inspire us to greater union with Him.
In the spirit of Servant of God Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., the founder of Holy Cross Family Ministries, there is a movement, calling on Christians around the world to unite in praying the rosary for World Youth Day. This is your invitation to be a part of a worldwide campaign of prayer, “Firm in Faith with Mary,” praying the Rosary for World Youth Day on Saturdays from the beginning of May until World Youth Day, in August.
Let us join together in the rosary. Blessed John Paul II called the rosary his “favorite prayer” and “the Gospel made prayer”. Believing in the power of prayer and in Mary’s love for us, her children, we entrust World Youth Day and our whole world to our Holy Mother through this campaign.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you. John 15:16
