Selected Lectio reading:
Matthew 1: 18-22
Reflection:
Mary was so devoted to God that when he came to her and asked her to bear Jesus she said yes. She faced rejection from her soon to be husband, her family, and society as a whole but she did not care. She held that much trust in God and his plan. When Mary became pregnant as a virgin through the Holy Spirit Joseph was loyal. He trusted in the angel who came to him. He believed in God's plan for himself, Mary, and the child in her womb.
This story shows that faith goes a long way. God always has a plan for all of us. We may have to face hardships but God will be with us during our time of need. He tests our faith so we can see him in all things. We are never alone. God will not abandon us. He is love and the source of true happiness.
I am thankful for all the gifts God has bestowed upon me.
Prayer intention: everyone at the start of this new semester.
