Mother

Mary is Jesus’ mother and before Jesus died He gave her to us to be our mother too. God chose Mary to be Jesus’ mom because she loved God very much and always said yes to whatever God asked her to do.  When Mary was still quite young, God sent the Archangel Gabriel to Mary to tell her the wonderful news that God had chosen her to be the mother of His Son Jesus.  Mary was amazed that God would choose her, but she trusted in God and she said YES!  Mary, and Jesus’ dad Joseph, loved Jesus very much.  They took care of him when he was a little baby and taught him all about God as he grew up.  Mary believed that Jesus could do lots of amazing things, like make sick people better and turn water into wine at a wedding party.  Mary helped Jesus’ friends (his Apostles) to be more like Jesus and she can help us too. Today we celebrate that she is God’s Mother, because Jesus is God, and she wants to be our mother too.
