Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it. (Luke 11:28)
An excerpt from today’s reflection from the Word Among Us Magazine, on the feast of the common of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 10-10-20
This reflection has helped me realise that Gods plan for us, and His steadfast guidance and love should be at the forefront of our thoughts and all we do. This inner disposition grants peace, courage, wisdom and grace.
“Blessed is everyone who, like Mary, looks beyond human success or apparent failure and sees the kingdom of God at work. It’s easy to feel good about Jesus when the crowds are cheering him and God appears to be with him. Similarly, we might assume God is happy with us when all is going well in our lives. But then, when hardship or betrayal strikes, we wonder if God has abandoned us. But Jesus’ life, and his words today, teach us that God is at work even when we seem abandoned.
No matter what happens in your life, you can still hear his word and embrace it. Try to keep your eyes fixed on your heavenly Father. Try to see your life through his eyes. Let Mary show you that being blessed doesn’t mean life will always go your way. Even if today ends up being the worst day ever, know that God has a word for you and a plan for you”
“Come, Holy Spirit, and open my eyes! Help me to see Jesus in every situation today.
