However, it may take time to truly understand the joy of this day. We celebrate the great privilege and grace bestowed on Mary. But it is our joy, too, because Mary never keeps the glory to herself. Her first response is always to give greater glory to her son, Jesus. We, too, share in that great offering of praise.   Mary Prays for Us! Another truth that this day brings to light is that Mary prays for us. This may not seem like a startling revelation. In fact, it is one of the first things we learn about our Blessed Mother. It's not just a comforting thought; it's a profound reality—one that can feel especially heartening when we are faced with difficulties. Today, on this special feast day, Mary is praying for all of us. Ask for her intercession for whatever is in your heart today.    Get to Know Mary Better!
