Actions Speak Louder Than Words

We've heard the adage, "Action speak louder than words," since we were children, but somehow its significance gets lost in our hustle and bustle.  We say we love all, we trust beyond measure, we want to put others first and ourselves last...etc,,,yet when it comes down to it, we all can feel the guilt of not living up to our inner declarations, and our actions betray embarrassing flaws.   Even the great saints, being human, did not always measure up to their self-projected images.  Asking God for help  with this, looking carefully at the lives of Jesus and Mary, we can find the models we need to follow.
Since Saturdays are dedicated to Mary, may we spend some time thinking about the events in her life that we know, as few as they are, and finding there a pattern we can adopt.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners NOW and at the hour of our death. Amen.
