As Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crown raised her voice and said, "Happy the womb that bore you and the breasts You sucked!" But He replied, "Still happier those who bear the Word of God and keep it"
Luke 11:27-28

Happy was My Beloved Mother, loved by all the faithful throughout the ages. My love for her in My incarnate life surpasses the love of every child for his mother. Her suffering was the greatest ever known by mother for her son, for she conceived Incarnate Love, brought Him forth and saw Him die in pain and anguish.

But death was not the end, but rather the beginning. For through the pain and death of her Beloved Child, as He was faithful to the Father's will and loving purpose, the human race was offered eternal life. And so it is for all whoever lived or ever will.

And as My Mother, beloved by all the faithful down the ages, was faithful in her life to her great calling and her glorious destiny, so is she constantly offering herself and Him who is the Father's Love Incarnate both to the Father and to His suppliant world.

Rejoice with her in her perfection and in her Perfect Offering. Identify both in her supplication and in her joy as bearer of the Father' Saving Word.
