Fr. Mark Mary: 圣母玛利亚前往探访伊丽莎白，并非偶然，而是为了履行她作为母亲的职责——行使慈爱，安慰他人。这段旅程漫长而艰辛，但她怀着急切的心情前往，这体现了她对他人深深的关爱和怜悯。圣母玛利亚的慈爱不仅体现在她对伊丽莎白的关怀上，也体现在她对所有寻求帮助之人的关怀上。作为天主之母，她拥有安慰和圣化他人的能力，我们可以向她祈求帮助，寻求她的安慰和圣化。 在圣阿方索·利古里关于圣母探访的著作中，我们看到圣母玛利亚回应了寻求安慰的人的祈祷。她以行动诠释了她作为母亲的职责，她不仅是天主之母，也是我们所有人的母亲。她愿意倾听我们的祈祷，回应我们的需要，给予我们安慰和圣化。 圣德肋撒修女也曾说过一句发人深省的话：“玛利亚，现在做我的母亲吧！”这体现了我们对圣母玛利亚的信赖和依赖。我们相信，只要我们向她祈祷，她就会回应我们的祈祷，给予我们所需的安慰和帮助。 因此，我们可以效法圣阿方索·利古里和圣德肋撒修女，向圣母玛利亚祈祷，祈求她做我们的母亲，给予我们安慰和圣化。相信圣母玛利亚会回应我们的祈祷，带领我们走向天主，获得永恒的幸福。

Shownotes Transcript

We read from St. Alphonsus Liguori’s On the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin, recognizing that Mary’s office as Mother means that she will console us. Fr. Mark-Mary shares a prayer from St. Mother Theresa, and guides us through a reflection on Mary’s motherhood. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Visitation and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
