Reflection for Today
Today we pray for deeper devotion to Christ through the Scapular and Mary's intercession. This is the final day of our novena, and we focus on the ultimate purpose of the Scapular: to draw us closer to Jesus.
The Scapular is not just a piece of cloth or a religious symbol. It is a sign of our devotion to God and our desire to live a holy life. Every time we touch it or see it, it reminds us of our commitment to follow Christ and to honor Mary as our mother.
Mary gave us the Scapular to help us grow closer to Jesus. She wants us to honor her, but her greatest desire is to lead us to her Son. The Scapular is a way for us to show our love for Mary and to ask for her intercession, but it is also a way for us to grow in our love for Jesus.
As we complete this novena, let us ask Mary to lead us to Christ through this devotion. Let us ask her to draw us near to His Sacred Heart as we honor hers. Let us also ask her to help us to wear the Scapular with devotion and love, always remembering that it is a sign of our commitment to follow Christ.
Remember that the Scapular is a gift from Mary to help us on our journey to heaven. When we wear it with faith and devotion, we are placing ourselves under her maternal care and asking for her help to grow closer to Jesus.
