Whether you're new to contemplative prayer or a seasoned practitioner of Christian mysticism, this meditation offers gentle guidance for experiencing Mary's compassionate presence. During this meditation, you'll be guided through practices that help you encounter Mary not as a distant saint but as an accessible spiritual mother who tenderly cares for all who seek her. Christian mystical tradition has long honored Mary as the Theotokos—God-bearer—and as a spiritual guide who leads us closer to her son Jesus. This meditation helps you experience her maternal love and receive whatever gift she has for you today. This meditation pairs beautifully with our daily meditation and communion services. Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably and open your heart to Mary's presence.
