7 Virtues of Mary – A Devotional Meditation with Bible Verses
Reflect on Mary's virtues with Scripture and guided prayer. Strengthen your spiritual walk through the example of the Blessed Mother.
As a beautiful devotional focus, I added Biblical meditation on each of the 7 virtues of Mary. Each is accompanied by a short reflection and a corresponding Bible verse. These can be used for personal prayer, journaling, or as part of your chaplet.
This chaplet includes the following virtues:
1. Faith | 2. Hope | 3. Charity | 4. Humility | 5. Patience | 6. Perseverance | 7. Obedience
1. Faith
Mary believed even when she didn’t fully understand. Her fiat—“Let it be done unto me according to your word”—is the perfect example of faith in God’s mysterious will.
Bible verse:
“Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.” — Luke 1:45
Meditation:
In her "yes," Mary trusted God's plan without knowing the details. What areas of my life require this kind of trust?
2. Hope
Mary stood by the cross in silent hope, believing in the promises of resurrection even amid darkness and death.
Bible verse:
“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” — Romans 8:25
Meditation:
Mary teaches me to hope not in outcomes, but in God Himself. Where is God inviting me to choose hope over despair?
3. Charity
Mary went in haste to help Elizabeth, putting love into action. Her whole life was a gift of self to God and others.
Bible verse:
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” — John 15:12
Meditation:
Love for God and others begins with small acts of kindness. How can I offer charity like Mary today?
4. Humility
Though chosen to be the Mother of God, Mary called herself the “handmaid of the Lord.” She did not seek her own glory but pointed always to God.
Bible verse:
“He has looked upon His handmaid’s lowliness.” — Luke 1:48
Meditation:
True humility is knowing who I am in God’s eyes—nothing more, nothing less. What does Mary’s humility teach me about my identity?
5. Patience
Mary waited—during pregnancy, in exile, in Nazareth, and at the foot of the cross. Her patience was not passive, but full of quiet strength.
Bible verse:
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” — Psalm 37:7
Meditation:
Mary’s patience encourages me to stay rooted when I want to run. Where is God calling me to be still?
6. Perseverance
Mary persevered in faith, even when she didn’t have all the answers—through confusion, loss, and pain.
Bible verse:
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.” — Hebrews 12:1-2
Meditation:
Perseverance is born from love and vision. What “race” am I tempted to abandon—and how does Mary inspire me to keep going?
7. Obedience
Mary’s obedience was total, joyful, and free, not driven by fear, but rooted in love.
Bible verse:
“Here I am, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” — Luke 1:38
Meditation:
Obedience is not submission to rules, but a response to a relationship. In what area of my life am I called to respond like Mary?
