Week 28 - The Journey Day 1
"Then Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king stood up to meet her and paid her homage. Then he sat down upon his throne, and a throne was provided for the king's mother, who sat at his right."" 1 Kings 2:19
A place of honor. Solomon born to King David and Bethsheba in Jerusalem honors his Queen Mother. The heart of a King turns to His mother and gives her, her rightful place. "Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home." John 19:27
What can we learn from the king of Israel and from the Son of God by their example. God seeks the heart and there is no heart more pure next to Jesus other than Mary's. Within His word He gives us images, He gives us truth. The world fights this truth and seeks to deny it. It seeks to separate us from truth and God seeks to unite us with truth. God seeks your heart, have you given it to Him?
What is God saying to me? A little at a time so it can seep in like a slow steady rain.
Dear Father, You give me these things to think about so my faith can be deepened. They are not easily resolved within but You know where we are going and I trust in this place as well. Prayers of thanksgiving for another morning spent by Your side. Prayers for a friend looking for a home and prayers for another. Help us surrender to Your Divine will, in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Ardent, Pray for us.

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
