A Virgin A Day: A Mary Collage

o blessed Mother,

through these days of Advent,

when mothers are taking on

even more with shopping-

whether online or in stores-

planning menus for family

and guests,

driving children hither and yon,

helping at the local food bank,

buying extra food and gifts

for families in need,

remembering prayers

for their Advent partners,

reading the latest chapter

for their Bible Studies,

and taking the time

to pray for themselves

in order

to have patience and love

for their families and neighbors.

o please, Mary,

open your heart to cover over

all these beautiful mothers

with your divinity.

amen
