“These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren” (Acts 1:14).
Today’s verse contains the last time we see Mary mentioned in Scripture. Her work as the mother of Jesus was done. It was time for her to take her place in the Church and be a disciple.
She showed humility the rest of her days. She only wanted people to think of her as God’s servant. Mary left behind an example for us of what true greatness is. It comes from putting your life in God’s hands and doing whatever He calls you to do. I think she would be appalled if she knew the homage being given to her in today’s world.
