Reflection for Today
Today we pray for love for Mary and to imitate her love for Jesus and for all humanity. Love is the greatest virtue and the foundation of our relationship with God and with others.
Mary's apparition at Guadalupe was an act of pure love for all her children in the Americas. She appeared to St. Juan Diego not just for him, but for all the indigenous people and for all future generations who would turn to her in need.
Mary's love for us is endless and unconditional. She loves us as her own children and is always ready to help us, to comfort us, and to bring our prayers to Jesus.
As we continue this novena, let us ask Mary to increase our love for her. Let us ask her to help us love her more deeply and to imitate her love for Jesus and for all humanity.
Remember that love is not just a feeling but a choice and an action. Let us show our love for Mary through our devotion, our prayers, and our imitation of her virtues.
