Though the current controversy of mask requirements is causing quite a stir, Our Lady is using this means, as an outward sign, to show that she is indeed with us and protecting us. Not only is it a chance to witness to her, it's also an opportunity to evangelize. If we have to wear a mask, it might as well be a “ Mary Mask"! On this Feast day of the Miraculous Medal, let us pray - “ Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us!" And cover us with your pure and protective mantle.
