Setting: Our text is from the Book of Revelations. This is a book of visions, dreams and nightmares! In our text we hear of a woman who gives birth to a son 'destined to shepherd the nations'. The child and woman are attacked, but God saves them both.
Grace: Ask God for the grace to feel more deeply his great love for you.
Reflection: The sign in the heavens: a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet a crown of twelve stars, giving birth to a son who will shepherd all the nations.
Conversation: Speak to Mary about your struggles and your fears. Be open and frank. Allow her to comfort, strengthen and encourage you with her strong faith and gentle manner.
