Theme: Mary, Woman of God Centered Intimacy
"The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."
The message of our Gospel reading today focuses on the call for intimate relationship with God and our neighbor. This is also the focus of our theme for the second day of our Novena.
Whenever we think of Mary, we remember a loving mother, simple and virtuous, chosen by God to do a magnificent role in the history of salvation.
If we go through the life of Mary in the light of the Gospels, the evangelists have consistently shown Mary as intimately centered in God.
First and foremost she is the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God. Mary is intimately bound to Jesus in the physical, psychological and spiritual sense. As a mother, she was there in all the journeys of his Son and in all His missionary endeavors; trusting, believing, loving, and caring for Him to the end. In so doing, she was deeply involved in the cause of humanity, the very cause of her Son. That's why we call on Mary for intercession. We are banking on that intimacy she has with God, to intercede for us in our time of need.
