The First Christian

“The imitation of Mary includes the imitation of Christ, because Mary is the first Christian to follow Christ…Indeed, that is why the imitation of Mary is not only relevant to women but to all Christians.”

                                St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)

For Reflection:

How can I help those whom I care for the most to imitate Jesus as Our Lady did – perfectly and without reserve? In what one way can I do this today?
