Listen on the following platforms:

Mary is Jesus' mum. Mary was with Jesus his whole life.  What does that tell us about Mary's role in His life? 

In this episode, we explore the reality that Jesus needed his mother throughout his life from the cradle to his death on the cross.   We need Mary. But maybe we don't realise it, yet? Jesus' dying words were to give us his mother. There is something significant about that. We don't take the dying words of anyone lightly, and especially those of God.

We discuss how Mary's presence can change our life. We discuss how she can give us the same peace, security and love as she gave her Son. We explore how much as women we can relate to Mary. We reflect on her favourite prayer, the rosary, as a journey where we walk with Mary through her life and learn the lessons for our life.
