“Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” (John 7:34)
In this month of May, dedicated to Mary, we can reflect on how she lived her Son’s new commandment of love.
By considering how Mary was loved by Jesus, we will see how she is called to love us.
Mary was loved by Christ from the very moment of her conception, and in every moment of her life until her glorious coronation in heaven. Psalm 45:9 foreshadowed this climactic moment of Jesus’s love for her: “At your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.”
