But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19

Mary did not understand all that was happening to her and to her son. She could not fully grasp God's will, yet she trusted Him. She pondered all that was occurring to her little family and kept them in her Immaculate Heart.

Yes, she suffered as only a mother can suffer. But, she gave it all to God. We must do the same.

Our Lady of Fatima told the children, "In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph." What does that mean? I think, like Jesus, it will not mean triumph in a sense of a militaristic type of victory, but the triumph of Love. Mary let go of the need to control her situation. Instead, she quietly pondered what was happening to her and let God take control.
