The First Disciple

The devotion of Mary to Jesus inspires even the most tepid soul. No other human being was, is, or ever will be more faithful. She is our best example of how to follow, love, and suffer with Jesus. From Gabriel's announcement, to Elizabeth's proclamation, to Simeon's prophecy of her broken heart. From fleeing to Egypt, to finding the lost 12 year old Jesus in the temple, to the wedding at Cana. From the false accusers, to the scourging at the post, to the Via Dolorosa, to Calvary. From the resurrection, to being with the disciples in the upper room on the day of Pentecost, Mary's heart is a refuge for anyone who wants to follow Jesus till the end.
 
Mary, our mother, help us love Jesus the way you do.
