Preaching for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, Sister Draru Mary Cecilia offers a reflection on modeling our lives after Mary and allowing God to bless others through us: 

 "Through the Blessed Virgin Mary, we have each individually, been blest beyond compare. We in turn are called to be a blessing to others. How?"

She is the Executive Director of African Sisters Education Collaborative (ASEC).
