Week 29 - The Journey Advent week 1
"Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
The Fathers love. "I am the way", words spoken by Jesus. In this advent season as you journey with Christ contemplate His way. It has many meanings as we journey thru this world, sometimes "the way" is of our own doing and we are not listening to God. It is God who leads us on "the way", he allows those side paths just don't get lost on them.
What role does Mary play in this verses? Some would say none because she isn't relevant in God's word, just listen to what they say about the Mother of God. It was God who chose Mary, to give Jesus flesh and blood. It was God and Mary's acceptance that allowed for Mary to be "the way" He enters the world. If Jesus is "the way", and Mary is obedient to God's will by being His temple for a period of time, it stands to reason that she is within this bible verse. She is a part of "the way" for Jesus, without Mary, there is no way.
God's plan can not be thwarted and it is our acceptance of His will that leads to truth. Take His hand and walk with Him, He is the way and Mary points to Him. God bless!
What is God saying to me? I know your heart
Dear Father God, my prayer is for those souls who are lost on "the way", I pray I am on "the way". I thank You for listening to me this morning and for leading me in this journey with Mary, the love You have for her is pure. Give us that same love in our own lives for the Mother of Jesus who is the way and leads us by example. Prayers for a family grieving the loss of a father, a husband and a brother. May he Rest In Peace and may Perpetual Light shine upon him. I ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Queen f Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
