Like Mary, our souls should proclaim the greatness of the Lord and our spirits should rejoice in God our savior. Our every thought, word, and work should declare that we are good disciples of Christ. Our faith should guide us through our daily lives. Our hope should sustain us through our trials and tribulations. Our love should be poured out to God and His children. In this way, we will imitate Jesus and Mary in their complete surrender to God’s Will. At the same time, we should be joyful servants no matter what obstacles get in our way or what sufferings we must undergo to do God’s Will. In this way, we imitate and unite ourselves to the passion, crucifixion, and death of Christ, which is the source of our salvation.
Do our words and works proclaim the greatness of the Lord? Do we rejoice in Jesus, Our Savior? How can we learn to be a good and faithful servant like Mary?
O Lord, help us to be more like Mary and live lives that proclaim your greatness.
Amen.
