Saturday – 1st Week in Ordinary Time C
As we come together on this Saturday, we recall the significance of Our Lady in our Catholic faith. As the Mother of our Savior, Mary is the model of perfect spirituality and the true humility to be emulated by all Christians. Today's readings remind us of her importance in our lives and in the lives of saints, such as Saint Francis of Assisi. Saint Francis saw Mary as the epitome of humility and obedience to God's will. He admired her willingness to accept her role as the Mother of God and her humility in service.
