January 23

“He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them; and his mother kept all these things in her heart.”

-Luke 2:51

Today’s Reflection:

Prayer is the answer. Prayer is what the Blessed Virgin Mary did when she faced the contradictions of her life as Mother of the Messiah. It was in her heart that Our Lady found the grace and consolation she needed. In our barren times, how can we need to pray more, not less?

Dearest Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
