Mother of Good Counsel
Added by Pope Leo XIII[1] in 1903, the year he died, this title acknowledges Mary’s wisdom in guiding Christ and, by extension, offering counsel to the faithful as a nurturing mother.
-One of my favorite Popes. Mothers/ women with experience need to be available to young wives and mothers.
I recall the many good women who graciously helped me navigate the rough waters of a large & busy family. These women graciously modeled to me.
Many actions direct us back to Christ. Do whatever He tells you. Heed those simple words, allow one to enter into a life of grace. Far better than an easy life. Pearl of great price.
Ex/ JC wants our very best, search His will, way He conducts, vision, understanding, relationships, are better. Sheep know His voice.
Ex/ gods of Egypt
EX/ defined when denied.
Ex/ law overwhelmed human person of what is there.
2 Marian dogmas defined lest we lose them.
How we give wise advice to family & friends? Ponder things in our heart. To not speak quickly, wait on the Lord.
