Reflection for Today
Today we pray for growth in gratitude for all that God has given us. Gratitude is the foundation of our relationship with God and with Mary.
Mary is our mother, given to us by Jesus from the cross when He said to John, "Behold your mother" (John 19:27). As our mother, she loves us with a perfect maternal love and is always ready to help us.
The title "Queen of All Hearts" reminds us that Mary reigns over all hearts with her motherly love. She is always available to us, always ready to intercede for us, and always ready to bring our prayers to Jesus.
As we continue this novena, let us ask Mary to help us grow in gratitude. Let us ask her to help us recognize and appreciate all the blessings we have received from God, so that we may always be thankful for her intercession and for all the graces we receive through her.
Remember that gratitude opens our hearts to receive more graces. When we are grateful, we become more aware of God's love and mercy in our lives.
