Friday 6 January
God has given us eternal life and this life is in his Son. (1 John 5:11)
Mark 1:11
A voice from heaven said: ‘You are my Son, the Beloved, my favour rests on you’.
The favour of God rests also on Mary, for the power of the Most High covered her with his shadow (Luke 1:35).
Mary was richly blessed and favoured. However, despite so much grace, God did not impose himself on her. He did not demand obedience but rather invited it. Because of this, Mary is our model and our hope; she shows us how to live our life in the Spirit. What does this mean for us in a practical and real way? It means that we too, like Mary, must learn to co-operate and participate with the Spirit; we do this in prayer, because in prayer we hear God’s voice. We too can hear God say to us, ‘You are my child’; ‘You are blessed and favoured’; ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’.
Lord, today, I hear your voice and harden not my heart. I listen with an attentive and responsive ear. Come to me, Lord Jesus.
Our Father..., Ten Hail Marys …, Glory be….
