…“My thoughts are not your thoughts, / your ways are not my ways” (Isaiah 55:8). This is why following the Lord always demands of man – of all of us – a profound conversion, a change in our way of thinking and living, it demands that we open our hearts to listen, to let ourselves be interiorly enlightened and transformed. A key point on which God and man differ is pride: in God there is no pride, because he is the complete fullness of love and is entirely disposed to love and give his life; in us men, however, pride is deeply rooted and requires constant vigilance and purification. We, who are little, aspire to appear big, to be the first, while God, who is truly great, is not afraid to abase himself and become last. And the Virgin Mary is perfectly in “synch” with God: let us invoke her with confidence so that she might teach us how to faithfully follow Jesus on the path of love and humility.
