Mary and Me
“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” – Luke 1:38
I wonder how Mary must have felt when God broke the news to her.
She didn’t fully understand how she could give birth to the Messiah, and yet she still said “yes” to God’s plan.
She
was also told she would suffer greatly because of her child, and yet
she still obeyed. It was painful seeing her Son suffer and die on the
cross but she endured it all and stayed with Jesus till the end.
Like Mary, we are called to bring Jesus into this world.
We will also face many challenges along the way.
When
this happens, we can be tempted to forget about our journey with the
Lord. Or we can do as Mary did and proclaim God’s greatness, knowing
that despite the hurdles, God will always look after us if we remain open to His Word. Jane Gonzales-Rauch (mgr516@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:
Are we living our lives in complete trust and total obedience to God?
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your Blessed Mother. May I imitate her virtues to help me walk with You. Amen.
St. Dominic of Silos, pray for us.
