God gave us a Mother as a helper.

We all know that it is the month of May. What and who do we associate the month of May with? I have a question: Why does the Virgin Mary teach us to love?
Let’s imagine that our life is like a vessel. And we consciously and voluntarily put everything that is connected with true love into that container. And that despite our weaknesses… Let’s answer ourselves: What will that vessel, our life, be filled with? Let’s answer each other: “With love!”

And what does Jesus remind us of in the Gospel? “Whoever loves me will keep…” (Jn 14:23). We have no doubt that the Virgin Mary implemented these words to the greatest extent in her life. Who kept the words of Jesus in their heart as much as she did? And her love for her son was rewarded. That is why today, we rightly remember the attributes that we give to the Mother of God in the Loreto litanies. Virgin Mary, who knows what it is to love God, what it is to be loved by God, who is glorified with body and soul, crowned as the queen of heaven and earth, not only does she remind us in the Gospels, she teaches us to follow her in love for the Holy Trinity, for her and our God the Father, she is his daughter and we are his sons and daughters.

We worship only God. And because the consequences of original sin are weighing on us, God gives us him and our Mary as an intercessor, helper, protector, guide. However, we honour, respect and love Mary because of what she does for us. We know that she loves us and that is why we run to her; we confide in her, we ask her to intercede with her Son. And when in weakness we forget about it during the year, we remember it, especially now in the month of May.

It was never heard that someone who fled under her protection… would not meet her love. A challenge for us, a hand offered by the Mother, to try to live our lives through good deeds, prayer, and work on ourselves. Our heavenly Mother, Mary wants us to meet and know her son Jesus. She comes to us as Mother and friend to bind up our wounds and lead us to her Son. Let’s try to listen to what the Mother tells us today, this week, and this month. It will certainly be the words in this context: “I love you with an immeasurable love.”

When the visionary Mária Pavlović was once asked which message of the Virgin Mary is the most beautiful, she answered: “When the Virgin Mary tells us: I LOVE YOU. Because feeling and experiencing her love is something indescribable.”

May each of us accept and experience this confession of hers. If someone tells us “I love you”, if we live next to someone we know loves us, our life is immediately easier, more beautiful, fulfilled. We are unafraid to open our hearts to the one we know loves us. The Lord sends his Mother to earth to help us open our hearts for him with her motherly love. Maria helps us with love.
