*MY EVENING REFLECTION* TOPIC: *MARY IS THE MOTHER WHO NEVER FAILS..* Mary is not just the mother of Jesus, she is the mother of the whole Church. At the foot of the Cross, when pain pierced her soul like a sword, Jesus turned to her and said, “Woman, behold your son,” and to John, “Behold your mother” (John 19:26–27). That was not just a moment of emotional farewell, it was a divine mandate. At that very moment, Mary became our Mother. And what mother turns away her children in their hour of need? No child calls on his mother in sincere tears and is met with silence. No child knocks at the door of a mother's heart and is turned away. And if our earthly mothers, with all their limitations, can care and intercede for us, how much more Mary, full of grace, full of divine favour, and closest to the heart of God? The family that prays together stays together. But even more importantly, the family that calls on Mary together is protected, strengthened, and elevated. Do not let a day pass without gathering as a family to invoke her powerful intercession. Whether it's morning, noon, or night, create a time when the entire household can say, “Hail Mary, full of grace…” and you will watch peace take root, unity grow strong, and miracles unfold like petals in the spring. And individually, when you are confused, call her. When you are broken, call her. When you are afraid, call her. When you are lost in the maze of life and no voice seems to answer, call Mary. She is closer than the air you breathe, more attentive than the world imagines. The saints knew this. The Church teaches this. The faithful testify to it every day. Call her, and she will answer. Call her, and she will come running. he Rosary is a spiritual sword. Each “Hail Mary” is a rose offered to our Queen. Each decade is a meditation that brings you closer to the heart of Christ through the eyes of His mother. It is a weapon of victory, a chain of hope, and a ladder to heaven. These days, we are faced with temptations, family crises, sickness, financial hardship, depression, and wars of every kind. But Mary is ready. She only waits to be called. Make the Rosary a habit, daily, faithfully, intentionally. Pray it when you are joyful, and even more when you are sorrowful. Pray it in thanksgiving, and pray it in your need. The devil flees when a family kneels to pray the Rosary. He cannot endure the sound of those beads. If you want to see miracles become a normal part of your life, pray the Rosary. If you want peace in your home, pray the Rosary. If you want healing in your body, clarity in your mind, and joy in your spirit,, pray the Rosary. Mother Mary does not keep anything to herself, she carries every intention straight to her Son. At Cana, she saw the lack of wine and told Jesus, “They have no wine.” And Jesus performed His first miracle, not because He had planned to, but because Mary asked. Miracles happen when Mary intercedes. Cancer disappears. Debt is canceled. Wayward children return home. Jobs are found. Wombs open. Hearts heal. Why? Because Mary never fails those who trust her. Not one. Not ever. Your servant, _@ Fr. Albert Nwosu (Nwachinemere)_
