Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Luke 2:21
On this feast of Mary, Mother of God, we seek to follow her example of treasuring her life with Jesus, and her journey of faithful discipleship.
Mary did not dwell on the past, or allow her mind to reach into the future of what might be. Mary was present in the moment.
She devoted her heart to encountering the people and circumstances in her life as a gift to be honored, savored and celebrated. Why? Because Jesus was with her.
How will you devote your heart today?
Let us Pray
Blessed and Holy Mary, Mother of God, increase my capacity to remain in the present moment. Even if that moment is painful.
Help me to invite you and your Son Jesus into the conversations, activities, and challenges of my day.
Confident that I am not in this moment alone, may I devote my heart and my efforts to the peace, unity and hope of others.
Amen.
