Shine forth

Posted on Saturday, December 04, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

December 4
"In the interim just as the Mother of Jesus, glorified in body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected is the world to come, so too does she shine forth on earth, until the day of the Lord shall come, as a sign of sure hope and solace to the people of God during its sojourn on earth."
-Lumen Gentium 68
Today's Reflection:
How is God calling you to shine forth during this Advent season? What hope and solace can you provide to His people as they journey over the next few weeks?

"Her [Mary's] example of faithful perseverance in doing the will of God and her heavenly reward are a source of courage and hope for all of us."
-Pope Benedict XVI
Today's Reflection:
How did Mary faithfully persevere in doing God's will? How can she be a source of comfort and support as you embrace God's will for your life, especially during this holy Advent season?

Blessed are you who believed

Posted on Thursday, December 02, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

"When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled."
-Luke 1:41-45
Today's Reflection:
What does it mean that Mary believed in the Lord's promise to her? What does this teach us about hope? How is God calling you to hope in Him this Advent season? What is He calling you to surrender to Him in order to be filled with the virtue of hope?

The spirituality of waiting

Posted on Wednesday, December 01, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

December 1
"... the spirituality of waiting is not simply our waiting for God. It is also participating in God's waiting for us..."
-Henri J. M. Nouwen
Today's Reflection:
Ponder this quote. What does it mean to you? In what ways did God wait for Mary? How do you think He has been waiting for you?
