It is important to remember that she is not a symbol but a real living person whom we can know and love\u2026.As we have said Mary is part of our own story.

Though Mary is an individual, she is also the entire Church in such a way that all of our lives are taken up into the mystery of her life, which is the most perfect reflection of the life, death and resurrection of her son, our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p><p>Think about that for a minute.<\/p><p><em>What comes to mind for me in this reflection is the <u>Holy Rosary (CarmelPrays &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/carmelprays.com\/pray-the-rosary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/carmelprays.com\/pray-the-rosary<\/a>)<\/u>. My formation Director, Celina Hess, told me that when she prays the rosary, she is \u2018sitting with Mary, slowly turning pages of a precious scrapbook and contemplating the life of her son at every mystery. She kept these things in her heart\u2026Mary is a pattern for us in the formation of our souls through the journey of contemplation\u2019.<\/em><\/p><p><em>Little did she know, I am an avid scrapbooker.
