My Lord and my God, I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me.

I adore you with profound reverence.

I ask your pardon for my sins and the grace to make this time of prayer fruitful.

My immaculate mother, St. Joseph, my father and Lord, my guardian angel,

intercede for me. The tradition of the church says that St. Luke had a tremendous fortune

because he interviewed the Blessed Virgin Mary. His gospel is based in long conversations that

he would have with Mary. St. Luke was a doctor. He knew how to read well and to write very well.

And his gospel is because of that very special. He's the only gospel that has the infancy of our Lord and many details that come

from the memories of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Just imagine that for a second, that you have a weekend with Mary.

And you can take notes or record what she says or take some pictures with her.

That's the gospel's a book,

basically, right? And all the gospels are amazing, obviously, but it is really special to go

through the life of our Lord, through your life, Jesus, knowing that Mary is remembering

things and helping us to consider the most important

aspects of your life and the miracles and the interactions.

One of them has to do with your friends.

Of course, as a mother, Mary was always very attentive to your company.

And she was very happy, obviously, in seeing you making friends as a boy, as a teenager,

later as a young professional, and as a teacher, as a master, as a rabbi.

I mean, just think about, for instance, the wedding feast of Keina.

However, Lydia was in a wedding, says the Gospel of St. John in that case.
