What does mother Mary wants from me?
An elderly priest once came to
our community. In keeping with the Salesian tradition, he delivered to us a
well-thought good night based on the motherly love or the “what is the expectation
of our blessed virgin Mary from us.” He began his thought by sharing to us
about his personal experience. He told that on the 70th birthday of
his mother. He and his two brothers went fort to their mother and asked, “Mommy
on the special day like this or on your birthday like this would you like us to
give an offer you? Their mother with her loving heart looks and smiles at them
and said, “My dearest sons, I expect neither silver nor gold from you. I only
wish and want from you is happiness in your lives. I want to see you all happy.
If you are happy that’s enough for me.”
He concluded thus, so also with
our mother Mary. She wants nothing from us especially external matter. In fact
she wants from us to be happy. So the thought he gave is that really entered
into my soul is “offer her my happiness.” And if I am not happy or if I find difficulty in my life he told me
that I must pray and ask her to help me to be happy always and to share that
happiness t others.
