*MY EVENING REFLECTION* TOPIC: *HEAVEN MOVES WHEN YOU CALL ON MOTHER MARY...* There are moments in life when our hearts are too heavy for words, our souls too wounded for songs, and our minds too troubled to rest. There are days when prayer feels like silence echoing back at us, and hope feels like a flickering flame in the wind. But it is in these moments, yes, especially in these moments that we must remember that Heaven responds when you call on Mother Mary. She is not just a symbol of purity. She is not just the gentle woman of Nazareth. She is not just the quiet mother at the foot of the Cross. She is a Queen, crowned in glory and when you call her name, heaven listens. Because she is not only a mother, she is the Mother of God, the Mediatrix of all graces, the Queen of Angels and Saints, and the one whose “yes” changed the entire course of human history. When you whisper “Mary,” angels straighten their wings. Saints turn their eyes toward you. Demons tremble. And Heaven prepares to descend. Not because you are perfect, but because she is merciful. Because she is a mother, and she can never hear the cry of her child and remain still.Mother Mary is not far. She is not indifferent. She is not distant. She is always listening, always interceding. And when she rises to help, she never comes alone. She is never empty-handed. Her arms are never without grace. Her heart is never apart from her Son. If you call on Mary, prepare yourself, because Jesus is coming too. Wherever she is honored, He is glorified. Wherever she is loved, He draws near. When Mary visited Elizabeth, the unborn Jesus brought joy to John the Baptist in the womb. When Mary interceded at Cana, water became wine. When she stood at the Cross, Jesus gave her to us as our mother, "Behold your mother." And ever since, she has never stopped being a mother to us. Calling on Mary is not an act of superstition. It is a divine strategy. It is a spiritual lifeline. It is a holy call that draws not just a mother, but the Savior Himself into your situation. St. Louis de Montfort said it powerfully: “To Jesus through Mary.” The path to Christ may be steep, but Mary makes it smoother. The storms may rage, but her mantle is a shelter. The nights may be long, but she is the Morning Star who brings light to the dawn. If you are struggling to pray, call on Mary. If your heart is broken, call on Mary. If the doors seem shut and heaven seems silent, call on Mary. And watch how she opens the heavens and walks in with her Son by her side. Mother Mary does not abandon her children. She stands by them, prays with them, walks with them, weeps with them. If you are drowning in sorrow, she is your lifeboat. If you are weary and about to faint, she is your comfort. If you are walking through fire, she will be with you, and in her presence, the flames will not consume you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t think you are not worthy. Call on your Mother. Speak to her as a child speaks to his mother. Hold her hand in prayer. Cling to her mantle in trouble. And when she comes, be ready. Because Jesus will be right there with her, and Heaven will move on your behalf. She is your mother. She is your intercessor. She is your warrior. And she will never come alone. Your servant, _@ Fr.
