Daily Prayer - How Sweet and Lovely You Are

How Sweet and Lovely You Are

O Mary, I wish I could see how 
you behaved toward your father and mother, 
especially toward St. Anne; 
and then how you behaved toward the priests of the temple; 
and then toward St. Joseph; 
and toward St. Elizabeth, 
and St. John the Baptist; 
and afterwards toward the Apostles. 
I should see how sweet 
and lovely you were to every one of them; 
but still your heart was with Jesus only. 
And they would all feel and understand this, 
however kind you were to them.

Amen.
