I am posting this with those of you in mind who are devout followers of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As you may know, the Church dedicates the months of May and October to Her. In October, specifically, we commemorate Her as “Our Lady of the Rosary.”
I wanted to share with you Mother Teresa’s words about Her:
“When you look at the inner workings of electrical things, you often see small and big wires, new and old, cheap and expensive, all lined up. Until the current passes through them, there will be no light.
That wire is you and me. The current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us, produce the light of the world. Or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.
Our Lady was the most wonderful wire. She allowed God to fill her. By her surrender — “Be it done to me according to the word” — she became “full of grace.” “Full of grace” means full of God. The moment she was filled by this current, by the grace of God, she went in haste to Elizabeth’s house to connect the wire, John, to the current, Jesus. As His mother said, “This child, John, leaped up with joy at your voice.”
Let us ask Our Lady to come into our lives also and make the current use us to go around the world — especially in our own communities — so that we can continue connecting the wires of the hearts of men and women with the current of love.”
My family and friends, let’s give the greatest interceder, Mary, our concerns, our worries, our rifts, our prayers for one another, and ask Her to infuse into us that much needed devine electric charge, as we venerate with rosaries in hand She who keeps us sane.
