Advent Reflection: Mother Mary is our MODEL
We have entered into, yet another, advent season. This time of the year we prepare ourselves to enter into a relationship with Jesus. Jesus, the second person of the Trinity and beloved Son of the Almighty Father is coming to dwell into our life. He takes the human form so that He could become one of us. He reveals the God’s love to us. He invites us to have a relationship with him as He says, ‘come to me and I will give you rest’ (Mt 11:28).
How do we respond to His invitation?
Reflection: St Ignatius of Loyola, in ‘the spiritual exercises’ writes that the most important qualities in the person who enters into these exercises are openness, generosity and courage (No 5). These qualities are equally important for all those who want to enter into relationship with others. We can welcome JESUS with openness, generosity and courage. In our effort to welcome Jesus, Mother Mary could be our model. Mother Mary was open to respond God’s plan into her life, generously accepted it and courageously faced all the consequences. Are we ready to follow the footprints of Mother Mary?
Prayer: We pray for the gift of openess, generosity and courage.
