just say this simple prayer: 'Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a
mother to me now.' I must admit, this prayer has never failed
me." (Blessed Mother Teresa) The wisdom of the saints are
given to us for our growth. How often we find ourselves in
difficult circumstances? How often we attempt to deal with them
on our own? Is it possible that God has another plan for us?
Here is one way that has proven helpful to at least Mother
Theresa. Yes, we can call on Jesus. But we can call on Mary and
the Saints as well. Now in heaven, one of their joys is to
intercede for us before the throne of God. In this they remind us
that we are never alone on our journey, but belong to and are in
the company of a communion of saints.
