While Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed." He replied, "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it." (Lk 11:27-28)

Today while so many in the Middle East are grieving the loss of loved ones, and the world is held hostage by people of violence and weapons of hate, we turn for comfort to the Mother of the Lord who faithfully stood beneath His Cross. As she said to the waiters at the Wedding Feast of Cana so she says to the disciples of her Son, “Do whatever He tells you.” And the Lord himself reminds us, “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."
