Week 22 - The Journey Day 1
"Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit." Matthew 1:18
Have you ever pondered Mary's love relationship with God? The ark of the Covenant not made by human hands. I always thought that this mystery just happened upon Mary, came out of the blue. Mary had a deep relationship with God and had journeyed with Him for many years prior to her commitment to becoming the spouse of the Holy Spirit. God did not drop this upon her but had prepared her, she was in love with God.
Look at your own life, how is your love relationship with God? He prepares us as well for our covenant relationship, He is always willing but for it to be fruitful it requires our willingness and commitment to His requests. ""Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." Matthew 22:36-37. Jesus reminds us and Mary demonstrates what this relationship looks like.
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, You are writing in crooked lines and are directing my path, keeping me along the proper road for this journey. I thank You for revealing the depth of Mary's love to You prior to her consent and commitment to becoming the mother of God and bearing Your Son Jesus. Bless us Father with Your graces and open up scripture to the blind that do not take the time to read and be loved by You. Prayers of thanksgiving for a friend healing, thank You. Amen.
Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Pray for us.
St Joesph, Foster Father of the Son of God, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
