DAY THREE
Read and Pause: We see Mary
move in haste to carry out her mission. Bishop Giaquinta says, “ A strong,
virile, indomitable will is an essential requirement” if we are to carry on the
mission entrusted to us. “Sluggish, weak and apathetic characters who do not
wish to move or to make an effort” will do very little for God’s Kingdom.
Blessed is she who trusted that the Lord’s word to her would be
fulfilled.” Our Lady appears to us as someone on whom God has been able
to depend, in whom he has placed his trust. Let us ask ourselves if God can
count on us. Can God trust us? (Bishop Giaquinta)
Pause and voice your intentions
and then pray:
Pray: Jesus, through
and with Mary, let my heart be
the altar where You sacrifice
Yourself
the tabernacle where You watch over
us
the monstrance where You manifest
Yourself to the world. Amen!
