From the 7:30am Mass on Sunday, January 19, 2025 the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica, Royal Oak.

Jesus' Line to Mary:

• The New American Bible (the translation used at Mass): "Woman, how does your concern affect me?"
• The Revised Standard Version (generally a more literal translation): "O woman, what have you to do with me?"
• The New English Bible (Sheen's favorite translation): "Your concern, mother, is not mine."
• William Barclay's translation (famous Biblical scholar of the 1950's): "Lady, let me handle this in my own way."
• Arthur Pink's translation (wrote one of the best commentaries on the Gospel of John): "What to Me and thee."
• Fulton Sheen's translation: "What is to Me is to Thee."
• The actual Greek: "Τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί, γύναι." Literally: "What to Me and to thee, woman."

Three concrete ways to invoke Our Lady:

1. Pray the Rosary
2. Have a good statue of Our Lady
3. Devotion to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception
