Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.

When the shepherds come to see the Holy Family they bear the good news of the angels to them. Mary reflects upon this message of the birth of the Messiah and Lord, of God’s glory, and peace for His favored ones. She, like the shepherds, must have wondered what all this might mean for them and perhaps even why they had been chosen. It is important for us to meditate upon the good news in our own lives too keep all of God’s love, mercy, and grace in our hearts.

What do we keep in our hearts? What are the things we are being asked to reflect upon in our lives in order to bring us closer to God? What is the good news in our lives today?

O Lord, teach us how to reflect upon the good news in our lives.

Amen.
