Week 29 - The Journey Week 1 of Adent
"He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."" Luke 1:54-55
A Mother's Love. The canticle of Mary begins on Luke 1:46-55. These words were coming from a 14 year old girl (approximate age). The depth of her love for God just didn't occur overnight, it was her years of knowledge infused with blessing of the Holy Trinity. Her heart is one with God, she wanted what He wanted. "On that day it will be said: "Indeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us! This is the Lord to whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!" Isaiah 25:9
She knew God the Father, she was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, is His temple and gave her life to the Son of God. She brings the Trinity to life in the flesh. Listen to her heart in the canticle, this isn't an aged women with life experiences. This is a young woman fulfilling God's mission for humanity and she knew His purpose for Him coming down.
We are all called to bring Jesus in the flesh into the world. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b. Mary's faith brings about salvation, our faith brings about salvation, it isn't to be hidden, it is to be given away. This is a time of preparation, a time for hope. Live the love you have for God, it shows.
What is God saying to me? Never miss an opportunity to share My Love, just as Mary lived a life of purpose so should you.
Dear Father, there is a depth to loving You in scripture, there is a realization of the importance of knowing You in the scripture. You show us these things when we sit and listen, we see Your plan for our lives unfold in front of us as we walk in unison. We also see what happens when we don't. Prayers for a friend in the hospital, give him healing Lord as only You can. Thank You Jesus for choosing Mary as our spiritual mother, without her the Word would not come alive, especially her heart. Bless this day Lord, it is in Your hands, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, 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
