Reflection

“Behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him.” –Luke 1:48-50

Prayer

Merciful God,

With the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom we honor today, we magnify you and celebrate your goodness. You have truly done great things for us and we continue to proclaim your holiness and mercy. In the confidence that comes from knowing you, we ask you to renew the face of the earth and help us renew it with you. Humbly we pray that those who oppress others might turn to you and be transformed. Let their riches fall to the needy so that all who hunger will be fulfilled. We pray in the name of God our Savior, Amen.

Call to Action

Recalling the ‘great things’ that have been done for me in my life and by whom, how can I be that person for others today and every day.
