Week 26 - The Journey Day 7
"Observe, my son, your father's command, and do not reject your mother's teaching;" Proverbs 6:20
The perfect word of God. We have studied the words of Jesus, (Amen, Amen) the most important ones. We have studied the giver of holy life, the Holy Spirit. God is leading us to consider the mother of God. He gave us the Ten Commandments and He gave us Mary.
I was blessed with great earthly parents that have provided a good example of faithful living, not everyone can say that. (In love) "he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will,". Ephesians 1:5. We have great examples no matter our own situation through adoption by our brother Jesus. God the Father, God the Son and Mary, Mother to God the Son and spouse of the Holy Spirit.
Mary, did not have many words in the Bible but her example is her teaching. And Jesus is the fruit of her womb. We are not to reject the teachings of mother Mary. Maybe a bit of a stretch for some but if God is our Spiritual Father, who is our spiritual mother?
What is God saying to me? Follow my lead.
Dear Father God, You never abandon us in this life without great examples of Godly living. You are sharing Your word with us from the Bible, I will entrust my will to You as we spend time with Mary and Your will. Prayers for a friend who passed into eternity, thankful for the opportunity to come to know You on his journey home. Cancer is a curse but it does prepare us for what we know is coming which indirectly makes it a blessing in disguise. Your will Father is perfect. Watch over this day and give us faith, hope and charity in our actions, in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Foster Father of Jesus, Pray for us.
