Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to saint Luke 10, 17-28

While Jesus was speaking,
a woman from the crowd called out and said to him,
“Blessed is the womb that carried you
and the breasts at which you nursed.”
He replied, “Rather, blessed are those
who hear the word of God and observe it.”

Blessed Mary

1. A woman. Women are the providers of the most beautiful aspect of humanity, a child. Through motherhood, women cultivate values and virtues in the child’s heart. God has given us great gifts through women, and we are very thankful to them and to God for them. They give us life, softness, closeness, and tenderness to face a world full of violence. They bring gentleness to a world that threatens us constantly. Thank you for being so humane in an inhumane world.

2.Raise your voice. I invite you as a good Christian to raise your voice on behalf of those who are afraid to speak; to raise your voice in prayer on behalf of those who do not know God and do not dare to speak to Him. Raise your voice to remember and remind others that Jesus is our path, our truth, and our life! Your voice, today, is the Gospel, the announcement of the Good News.

3.Blessed Mary. Through Mary we can find happiness. She is the announced promise. In Mary we see a woman committed to God. Through Mary we see Life itself. She reminds you to be hopeful even when you encounter a cross in your life, like the cross she endured when they crucified her son. Hope in God never lets us down and she reminds us that for those who believe, everything is possible.

God bless you, be with you and protect you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Never forget that something good is on the way!
