Mary as a Role Model of Faith
Written by Daniel Pane
It has been a year that I try to discipline myself to pray the Rosary. I like this Rosary prayer for two reasons, first because this prayer is simple and secondly because it relates with Mary’s personality who is simply being faithful. Sometimes it is difficult for me to believe. Quite often I question: “Why this? Why that? Why this is happening to me? What will happening with me in the future? Sometimes it is difficult to believe in the Divine Providence. I can say “I trust in You”, “I love You”, “I want to live for you” but then it changes again, often my believe in the God is limited in my lips only or in my feelings, but have not reached to the point of total surrender and live in.
I admire Mother Mary who believed the news from the Archangel of Gabriel. She believed and then offered her life. Everything seemed to be so simple. I want to able to have such faith, simple and yet faithful till the end. When I pondered of my previous life I was worried about my study, my work, and now about my vocation. I always have many things to be worried about. Mary was different, she surrendered her life to God and did not worry. When I prayed the Rosary sometimes I become very peaceful and gain my strength to have simple faith and continue to walk my life step by step without many worries. In Mary’s personality I feel like finding a spiritual guidance who teaches me to be faithful to God.
