Turn to Mary

After we returned home from a family vacation a couple of weeks ago, my husband ran to the grocery store for milk and bread, and also returned home with some cheerful tulips. He put them on the windowsill above our kitchen sink, thinking that they would remind me of being at the beach  One bud was placed in a separate small vase on the windowsill, which I put next to a picture of Mary (Our Lady of Guadalupe, to be exact).

A couple of days later, the rest of the tulips were still closed, but the bud next to Our Lady had turned towards the frame and opened up. In that moment, I thought to myself that when we turn towards Mary, she will help us to open our hearts to Jesus. Just as we know our children better than anyone in the world, Mary knows Jesus better than anyone else, and wants to help us know him better, too. By turning towards Mary and asking for her help, we will begin to learn how to love Jesus and open ourselves to him more each day.

God bless you all this morning!
