From today’s Scripture: “He is like a tree planted near running water, that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves never fade.” —Ps 1:3

As through Mary’s womb Christ the salvation of the world was conceived, through her womb we get molded into the image of Christ. She turns our barren fields into rich and flourishing fields. The soil of Mary enriches Christian believers. 

In her, farmers and field workers find their refuge and home. She restores their dignity, those who are looked down upon in our society. Oftentimes field workers and farmers are seen as uneducated and unintelligent. Venerated as Our Lady of the Fields, Mary restores the dignity of farmers and field workers and shows us the sacredness of the soil and fields.

Let us pray: Loving Mary, intercede for all your people. Inspire me today to look to the people around me as sacred and filled with dignity.
