What makes Mary a role model of all mothers, and a model for all Christ's followers? The answer to the first question is simple, because she focused her whole life on her son Jesus, and in fact, it is also the reason why she is the model for all Christians because she focused all her energy in following God's Son, Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact, Mary is considered Jesus' first and the best disciple.
Mother Mary is simple and she has just one simple goal in life, that is to do God's will, period. And she did so with a humble spirit, never intentionally put herself in the spotlight. And that explains why there are only a few recorded words of hers in the Bible. Yet, of those words that were recorded, two stand out as the main themes of her life, which are conceivably also her mottos in life. For herself: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38). And for others: “Do whatever He tells you.” (John 2:5) Her life is simple yet laser sharp! And she let nothing derail her from accomplishing what she set out to do in her life, the two missions given to her by God.
How could she remain so focused? Mary has a secret. That secret lies in her insistence of treasuring every Word of God in her heart, reflecting on them continually. “Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19) And she doesn't allow herself and her own thoughts clutter her mind or distract her from attending to God's will every moment of her life. That was her secret, but also her weapon as she needed to fend off temptations and external distractions that vowed to take her focus away from her mission on earth.
She didn't let go of God's Word and so the “lesser” things couldn't creep into her heart easily without her knowing. She lived in the moment and knew what she's doing, letting nothing trouble her. She is gentle, yet she is strong. And indeed she is a spiritual giant! Nonetheless, she did everything not counting on herself but the power from above.
By talking little, she spent most of her time in deep prayers, even while she was doing things. That helped her remain laser sharp in her sensitivity to the movement of Jesus and of the Holy Spirit. AND THAT IS HER REAL WEAPON! By being receptive to the movements of the Holy Spirit, she knows what to do in order to cooperate with Jesus in accomplishing the Father's will. Powerful! And nothing less than fruitful, a hundredfold, was resulted from her total surrender of her life to God. And in doing so, she brings the greatest glory to God, who in turn shares His glory with her. This is the kind of right relationship with the Holy Trinity we should strive for in our lives!
If our goals in life are to get close to Jesus and to bring others to Him, she is our best role model. And her way of life should also be our way of life. In fact, by asking Christians to recite the Rosary, she is suggesting to us to mimic her life in always reflecting and contemplating the life of Jesus and the Word of God. In doing so, she can lead us closer to her Son Jesus. And she has made this the focus of her life, up till this very day.
我至愛的天上媽媽–聖母瑪利亞，我願意跟您學習，將生活專注於天主，承行祂的旨意，請為我代禱求得此恩！
仁慈的天父，我願意學習聖母瑪利亞一樣。感謝天主
聖母媽媽 ,我願意跟你學習 專注, 聆聽, 時常祈禱 信靠和交託給主。 求你為我轉禱使我效法你的得表去承行主的旨。亞孟。
主耶穌！感謝祢將自己的母親帶到我們中間，聖母瑪利亞是所有跟隨主的信徒的最好的典範，我從做心田農夫的開始，我就決志要專心侍主，克服在祈禱、默想、靜思時的分心，我要學習聖母媽媽活在當當下，全心信賴主，以敏銳的心神回應上主的旨意，偕同聖母，將主耶穌帶給全人類！主耶穌，可憐我這個罪人吧！
感謝天主讓聖母瑪利亞成為我們的母親! 我會每天細閱「看！上主的婢女，願照你的話成就於我罷！」並反覆思想。
她做任何事都不是倚靠自己，而是倚靠來自天上的力量。她對聖神的動態保持敏銳，她就知道自己該做些什麼去配合耶穌，以成全天
父的旨意。天上慈愛的母親:求你為我們轉禱,能學習你一生追隨上主的聖意而生活.
??主 我要從今開始謙卑地向聖母媽媽學習，要活在祈禱當中時刻反覆思量天主聖三的説話，使我能抵擋誘惑，不讓魔鬼擾亂我的心神??
要專心祈禱和默想往往是我的弱項，很多時會想這想那，不能集中。可能是自己沒有全心，全意，全靈，全力去愛上主。祈求上主賜與聖神帶領，好讓我學習聖母瑪利亞專注上主的旨意。亜孟
我會更審慎省察,自己的生活方式及思維模式中需改變的事實,以聖母為師,活出聖言.
擁抱天主!感謝天主!
聖母(仁慈之母)??透過我的奉獻，才能讓我在黑暗中找到你的提醒。?
圣母是我最専敬的天上母亲，她曾经救了我一命。
我以前沒有把她为榜样，现在我要向她学习。
仁慈的聖母 每當有困難時我都懇求您幫我轉禱 您每次都答允我。
希望藉著聖神的幫助及主的恩典，我能效法您 承行主給我的任務。
求您代禱使我更像您 – 慈愛的母親
年輕時看聖經，提及聖母的章節很少，常懷疑有沒有需要把聖母尊祟到如地步。隨著當了母親，才體會聖母在整個救恩史奉獻自己一生的偉大。看似絕不起眼的瑪利亞，原來當她接受天主的揀選後，她的人生，她的態度，她的表現就化作無限的光芒，照耀世人。我們越能微觀福音，細味嘴饞，就越能從細節中找到隱藏著的聖母，感受到她散發出數不盡的善行美德。溫柔中看到她的堅定、苦痛中看到她的信靠、徬徨中看到她的忍耐、榮耀中看到她的謙遜、迫害中看到她的服從……她知道天主會為她預備道路，她樂意完全交託自己，為主為人付出全部的愛，事就成就了。
聖母，請妳為軟弱的我祈禱，請幫助我學習妳的表樣，請支持我這次的回應，好好地跟隨妳聖子的引領，擔起莊田的工作，成就上主的計畫。天主之母，為我等祈！
「瑪利亞卻把這一切事默存在自己心中，反覆思想。」(路加福音 2:19)
我要效法聖母反覆思想，將一切事默存自己心中。
永援聖母，為我等祈。
主耶穌，感謝祢給我們認識祢的聖父，透過祢的救贖成了天主的兒女；感謝祢賜下聖言和真理之神，使我們的身體成了聖神的宮殿；感謝祢賜下祢地上的母親給我們，使我們藉著聖母媽媽能力上加力，恩上加恩。
感謝聖神親自作我們個人的導師，幫助我們渴慕真理，引領我們分辯主的旨意和渡聖潔的生活。
聖母媽媽，今天的經文和教導，清楚提醒我們效發妳對主的謙卑和順服、學習妳敏銳和細心關注別人的需要，將整個生命奉獻給主，致力與天主聖三建立這樣的關係，配合主耶穌以成全天父的旨意，
聖母媽媽，請為我們祈禱，常常效發妳信、望、愛的三德，好能連結於耶穌基督內，結出豐富的果實！亞孟
Mama Mary, I love you ? kindly guide me to your way in focusing my life to God always ?
我敬愛的聖母媽媽，從今天的經文和教導，我們學習妳以謙卑，大愛及寛仁的態度，去待人處事，對任何天主給予的旨意，也順應聽從，並將愛子耶穌奉獻，甘願為愛我們而犧牲，願基督永受讚美。
至聖聖母瑪利亞，萬民的母親!妳是信望愛德的典範，天主救恩參與者。天主彰顕了妳于九品天神之上，立妳為天地
之母及世人的中保。求妳為我們世人代禱，在當今疫症下，祈求天主增強我們的信望愛。主，我們相信，我們渴望，我們互助互愛必會戰勝疫症。亞孟。
I desire to have the qualities of Mary of silence, gentleness. To learn more from Our Lady, I need to pray and meditate on the Rosary and read the books and scriptures on Her as as to imitate Her to get closer to Jesus. As She is the First Tabernacle of Jesus.
May our Mother Mary guide us to pray the rosary, read the gospel, and to reflect on God’s word daily so that we can come to know and be closer to Jesus and to give glory to God. God bless everyone during this difficult time!
