"The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."" Luke 1:53-55
What a prophetic message from such a young person, Mary knew the importance of the child Jesus she was carrying. She knew what God had promised and the depth of His answer. Her love for God was like no other for she understood the history and what this child was going to do for humanity. She was hungry, obviously filled with the mystery of God. Are you hungry? Or are you rich, have it all figured out, only to realize they are empty promises. Mary, in her knowledge sought meaning for her life. She recognized her responsibility to God's plan, you have a similar responsibility. Your actions are known by God, are you carrying the child Jesus into a world seeking? You are either empty or full, the good thing about empty is, it will draw you to God, when you figure it out. Think, is your soul proclaiming the greatness of God? Mary's was! and she was only a teenager.
Dear Heavenly Father, I love You. I pray for the rich Lord, and I know that in Your plan they will be drawn to You. Our hearts desire to know You, fill them with the same desire that Mary has, to know You, to love You and to serve You. Help us treat everyone the same, Saint or sinner, may I not be haughty in my response thinking better of myself. Bless this day Lord and thank You for this time. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mirror of Justice, pray for us.
