One of the last things Jesus did before he died was give us His mother Mary to be our mother. From the Gospel of John, \u201c\u2018Woman, behold your son.\u2019 Then he said to the disciple, \u2018Behold, your mother.\u2019 And from that hour the disciple took her into his home\u201d (19:26-27).<\/p>\n

Jesus\u2019 final words not only pertained to Mary and John, they also included me and you and all<\/i>of humanity.<\/p>\n

\u201cJesus Christ, after having given us all he could give, that is to say, the merit of His toils, His sufferings, and bitter death; after having given us His adorable body and blood to be food for our souls, willed also to give us the most precious thing He had left, which was His holy mother,\u201d said St. John Marie Vianney.<\/p>\n

Yes, Jesus gave us Mary to be\u00a0our<\/i>\u00a0mother!<\/p>\n

But how do we cultivate a relationship with our mother Mary? What can we do to take her into our homes, like St. John did?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_5197-533x400\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are five simple ways to get to know Mary, and invite her into your heart, your home and your family:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Pray.<\/b><\/h2>\n

If praying an entire Rosary seems overwhelming to you, start small. Consider praying one decade of the Rosary each day for five days. Reflect upon one mystery each day as well. By the end of the week, you will have prayed an entire Rosary!<\/p>\n

You can break it down even more by simply praying one Hail Mary at the beginning of each day, asking Mary to pray for you and your special intentions. This can be especially effective when including other members of the family. Every morning on the way to school, my children and I say morning prayers, offering our day to the Lord. We include one Hail Mary and one Memorare, asking the Blessed Mother to be with us and to pray for us. This is a doable way for us to invite Mary into our day.<\/p>\n

There are many beautiful Marian prayers you can incorporate into your personal and family prayer times. A quick Internet search will give you many good ideas. And if you want to work on adding the Rosary into your prayer life, a beautiful and encouraging book on praying the Rosary is\u00a0The Rosary: Keeping Company With Jesus and Mary<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by Karen Edmisten.<\/p>\n

2. Read.<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are many, many good books about the Blessed Mother. Some are tried and true, like\u00a0True Devotion to Mary<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by St. Louis de Montford. Others are more contemporary, but just as reverent, like\u00a033 Days to Morning Glory<\/i><\/a>\u00a0by Fr. Michael Gaitley,\u00a0Under the Mantle<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by Fr. Donald Calloway, or\u00a0Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey From Nazareth to the Cross<\/i><\/a>\u00a0by Dr. Edward Sri.<\/p>\n

It is so helpful to read what the Catholic Church truly teaches about the Blessed Mother. Often, Mary is a mysterious part of our faith. So, not only will reading about the Blessed Mother help you get to know her better, but through your reading, you also will be able to share the truth about Mary with others.<\/p>\n

Many saints had incredible devotion to Our Blessed Mother, including St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Pope John Paul II, Blessed Mother Teresa, and more. So it is beneficial to read personal accounts of Our Blessed Mother\u2019s influence in the lives of the saints and other faithful Catholics, as inspiration for our own relationship with her.<\/p>\n

And if we want our children to know Mary from an early age, it is good to find some children\u2019s books about her to read as a family. My family especially likes\u00a0Take It To the Queen: A Tale of Hope<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by Josephine Nobisso.<\/p>\n

3. Decorate<\/b>.\"IMG_8383-300x400\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t have one already, find a beautiful statue or picture of the Blessed Mother to display in your home. Growing up, I kept a statue of Mary, given to me by my grandmother, in my bedroom. This statue, even though it has seen better days, still sits on my desk today.<\/p>\n

I also have one of Mary with a broom in hand, titled\u00a0The Kitchen Madonna<\/i>, sitting on the window sill in my kitchen. Glancing at her throughout the day helps me get through the mundane tasks of homemaker and mother.<\/p>\n

And one of my favorite pictures in our home is one that an artist friend gave us as a wedding gift. Titled\u00a0Magnificat<\/a>,\u00a0<\/i>it is of Mary, smiling so joyfully and holding up her infant Son Jesus.<\/p>\n

4. Honor.<\/b><\/h2>\n

During May (the month of Mary) and October (the month of the Rosary), set up an extra-special space in your home to honor Our Lady. A Mary altar doesn\u2019t have to be fancy. It can be simple but beautiful atop a fireplace mantle or bookshelf.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a statue of Mary, a framed holy card and Rosary can adorn your altar. Get your kids involved by asking them to make little bouquets of flowers for the Blessed Mother. They will love doing this! Light a candle, and take time to pray (alone and with your family) in front of your altar throughout these two special months.<\/p>\n

5. Celebrate.<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"IMG_4087-300x400\"<\/a>The Catholic Church is very good about teaching us about the importance of fasting\u00a0and<\/i>feasting. We have so many days of celebration in the Church! Find a few family favorites, including some Marian feast days, and celebrate! Again, it doesn\u2019t have to be fancy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing how wonderful and fun white hot chocolate on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception or Mexican food on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe can be! Oh, and don\u2019t forget cupcakes with blue frosting for Our Blessed Mother\u2019s birthday!<\/p>\n

A book that I reference for Marian feast day ideas is\u00a0Mondays With Mary<\/i><\/a>\u00a0by Meredith Henning, and the blog\u00a0Catholic Cuisine<\/a>\u00a0has some great recipes for Marian feasts as well as other feast days and liturgical seasons.<\/p>\n
