THIRD DAY WITH MARY
Mystery of the day: Glorious
Theme: I am.the Light of the world.
"I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world." (John 12:46-50 )
Our sinfulness out of disobedience led us into dungeon of darkness, but obedience to God through His Son dispels the darkness of sin and lead us into the wonderful light of life.
This unfathomable love of God springs out from the acceptance of our Mother Mary who accepted to be the harbinger of the New Covenant - Jesus Christ.
As the new Eve who contrasted the former brings hope to humanity.
Today, as we have heard from the gospel pericope, Christ Himself said:
"I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world." (John 12:46-50 )
Here He spells out His mission in clear terms which are: salvific and redeemic. In our daily struggle, let us not be wearied in calling on our Lady to interceed on our behalf as she knows how to get the heart of the Son with few words as in Cannan.
"Do whatever He tells You." (John 2:5).
As we devoutly honour Her this month with devotion, let our care and worries be presented before her with faith that as she did before, she will also on our behalf whispers to the Son to listen to us.
Finally, let us get rid of every distraction this month that may obstruct our sense of hearing when Christ ask us to present the "jar of our daily struggle" or call us out of dungeon of darkness.
MARY, Mother of Mercy - Pray for us
Peace, be with you!
Let us pray
O God, life of the faithful, glory of the humble, blessedness of the just, listen kindly to the prayers of those who call on you, that they who thirst for what you generously promise, may always have their fill of your plenty through the intercession of your beloved Mother this season of unlimited Grace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
