12.19.15

Lectio: Lk 1.39-45                        

Meditatio: “During those days Mary set out and traveled to the hill country with haste to a town of Judah.” Lk 1.39
                                                                                 
Oratio: O God, Mary showed us a marvelous example when she learned that her cousin Elizabeth was with child, for she when ‘with haste’ to her showing that we can also count on Mary to respond to our ordinary needs. Pray to be a docile and loving child of Mary for she so much deserves our love and devotion.

Contemplatio: Spend some time with today's text and see how the Lord is speaking to you.

Operatio: reflect: “Mary.... with haste...Judah”; Mary shows us the way to respond to those in need. Do so ‘with haste’ or as another translation states’ with great thoughtfulness’. Seek the grace to love Mary as our Mother and emulate her example in dealing with her children for that is the best way to show your love for her.
