Weekly Reflection

Mary Gardens

04-28-2024  |  Jen Arnold, M.A.

It is no secret that Catholics honor Mary. (For a proper understanding of the difference between worship and honor, you can see the article on my website on Latria vs Dulia.) By virtue of being Jesus’ mother, as well as the catalyst for his first miracle that initiated his public ministry, and by staying by his side all the way to the foot of the cross on Calvary, Mary provided a perfect example of what it means to be a Christian disciple with perfect faith. The Catholic Church has a variety of devotions in her honor to assist us on our own journeys. The rosary is a prayer containing 20 mysteries that represent pivotal events in the lives of Mary and Jesus. The Way of the Cross enables us to meditate with Mary as she followed Jesus during his passion and death. The Church has also given her various titles to reflect her many attributes, such as the Immaculate Conception, Queen of Angels, or Mother of Sorrows. In this piece, I will explore a lesser-known devotion in honor of the Blessed Mother: Mary Gardens.
