May 30th: Mary the Channel of Grace

“Her power before God is such that she can obtain anything that we ask for, and, like any mother, she wants to answer our prayers. Like any mother, also, she knows and understands our weaknesses. She encourages us and makes excuses for us. She makes the way easy for us, and even when we think there is no possible solution for our worry, she always has one ready to offer us.” (“Mother of God and Our Mother”, Friends of God, 292)

Let us offer to our Mother today: A visit or a conversation with a friend or relative whom we want to encourage to go to Confession.
