Week 32 - The Journey Advent week 4
"And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;". Luke 1:46
"And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;". Luke 1:46
Purity of heart. I witness Mary living within the walls of God, everything is changing in her world, her life has been given new meaning with the evidence of the Christ to soon appear. Yet in all of these changes, she is right where we are called to be, at the Masters feet.
Her life revolves around God and her love for Him, nothing seems to interfere with this. We are approaching the last few days prior to all the expected celebrations, can we say the same about our reflection back to God. It seems to get busier this time of year and things do not always go as expected.
We can learn a lesson from a young women who has walked where we are walking. Sit back, watch the clouds slowly pass by, ponder the mysteries of Heaven and your response to them. Allow God to intertwine with You and bring about new life within, the birthing pains aren't easy but the joy will carry you through the rough spells.
What is God saying to me? They are beautiful, glad you noticed. Life will continue, it is your response back to it that will make the biggest difference within.
Dear Father, it is a beautiful morning, sitting and watching, listening to the gifts of Your Holy Spirit. I am thankful for all and am recognizing my own weaknesses in my response back. Mary can teach us valuable lessons if we would just sit and watch, her life was not an easy one. Prayers for a friend going through changes and not really knowing what is next, prayers for a family with lots of mixed emotions. Help all of us recognize the beauty of life and the joy it brings when You are the center. I ask this in Your most holy name, Jesus Christ, Creator Blest. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
