The Honor Due to Mary
"How right it is that we honor so highly the Virgin Mary, for she carried Jesus in her most holy womb." --St. Francis, Letter to the Whole Order
This is a very appropriate message for Mother's Day. We should all honor our mothers for having carried us in their wombs. Every person started out as an innocent baby, born of God, having been made in His image. But sin entered the world and we were all caught in sin's web. However, praise God, He has provided a way of escape and chose Mary as His instrument to birth the hope that would be ours in Jesus Christ.
