Matthew 1:23
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means "God is with us."
Have you ever considered the role that Mary plays in our salvation? Without her, we would not have Jesus. The strength that she must of had to say yes, she knew the consequences of being unwed and pregnant in her day and time. The rejection that she must of felt as she went about.
For some this hasn't changed, they do not want to recognize her role in their salvation. She was hand picked by God to bring Jesus into the world, to bring unity in God's covenant family. She is part of God's family, is she part of yours?
Dear Lord God, please open the door for faith communities to be united as one. Help others understand the role Mary plays in their Christian walk and how she points the way to Jesus. May we all grow in our devotion to God's covenant family, not neglecting any of its members. In Jesus name, Amen. Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

1 John 4:4b
"The one that is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
