O WISDOM, who came from the mouth of the Most High, reaching from end to end and ordering all things mightily and sweetly: Come, and teach us the way of prudence. (Pause, Reflect, Pray: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be and/or Pro Sanctity Prayer)Sirach 24:2; Wisdom 8:1 Symbols: oil lamp, open book.
Today a lovely mom with her new born came to visit me for some spiritual advice. Oh what a joy to receive her and share with her! I was Elizabeth and she was Mary as sure as it was true. What touched me deeply was that she and her husband were not young and this child was the new child in an already large family. The tiny bundle in her arms had not been expected but I could see with my own eyes that she was received without reserve. Oh the joy on the mother's face was as full of wonder and exhilaration as if it was her
first child.
During the sharing of our hearts, it seemed that the movement in our souls danced with joy and deep faith at the presence of the Lord in our midst. We knew another Woman was with us in spirit. Blessed were we that the Mother of our Lord, was praying and interceding for both of us that we might know the true greatness of her Son, Jesus in becoming a child, vulnerable and small,to show us the tremendous love the Father has for all children and each one in such a particular way!
Oh Mary, thank you for your YES, and for opening the doors to us so that we might receive the pure and true joy your Son, Jesus, who has ordered all things mightily and sweetly. Amen.
