The Immaculate Heart of Mary (M)

2 Corinthians 5:14-21; Ps 103; Matthew 5:33-37

Ambassador for Christ

Sister Ann Rose went down on her knees in front of armed police in Myanmar and pleaded with them to stop shooting protesters agitating against the recent coup. "I told them that they can kill me; I am not standing up until they give their promise that they will not brutally crackdown on protesters." Her plea was not successful. At least two protesters were killed. Rose has a heart like Mary's, filled with maternal love and compassion. She is an ambassador for Christ; He appealed through her. We are all ambassadors for Christ.
