Someone wondered on the telephone, then, she just feels a perpetual sadness; I responded I thought that was a part of her joy.  Now, I heard a Joyful Mystery meditation: "We need to pay attention to the voice of God, discern His call, and accept the mission He gave us.  After Simeon's prophecy, Mary takes into her heart the wound of sorrow, but in the silence she accepts the will of her Father."  I received an even deeper appreciation for our conversation, then, today.
