Week 29 - The Journey Advent week 1
"His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.'" Matthew 25:23
"His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.'" Matthew 25:23
"Come share your master's joy.", the words we long to hear from the Master's mouth. The wedding feast of eternity is by invitation and we accept that invitation each day when we go into the world and do our Father's will, by multiplying the talents He gives us.
Jesus's first recorded miracle was the wedding feast of Cana with the encouragement of our Blessed mother Mary. Mary may not be spoken about directly in scripture a lot but God has provided many opportunities for us to see her influence within scripture. "On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there." John 2:1
One of the talents God gives each of us is cognitive ability, the opportunity to think about His Word. By not using this talent we are burying it and it will not multiply or even produce any interest if we don't invest our time into it. At the wedding feast I want to hear these words and I want others to hear them. "Come share your Master's Joy." Mary will be present, sitting at His right, her rightful place. Don't ignore her in this life.
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, I thank You for the words of encouragement and the insight You provide when sitting still. Thank You for sharing Your will with us and blessing this day. Prayers for the events of this day, may it produce the fruit that You desire. May we be Your faithful servants in what is given each of us to do. I ask this in Jesus name, amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us

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