Happy Mother's Day to all the fabulous, wonderful, moms and especially my own mom. We love you so much, appreciate you, and know that our lives just would not be the same without you.
Now, there's another mom I'd like to spotlight. Her name is Mary; she's Jesus mom and she is also our mother.

"When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home." (John 19:26, 27) This tender scene speaks to us of the depth of the Love which inspires, informs and transforms all human love. Jesus gives us His Mother. 
We have much to be grateful for in Our Blessed Mother, as a Model for all Christians. Not only as the perfect Mother, but as perfect follower of Jesus, faithful child of God, and spouse of the Holy Spirit she is all that we are called to be.

O Mary, our Mother, all generations will call you blessed! (based on Luke 1:48)

If you put all the love of all the mothers into one heart it still would not equal the love of the Heart of Mary for her children.
—St Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort
