“The Virgin Mary, who believed in the word of the Lord, did not lose her faith
in God when she saw her Son rejected, abused and crucified. Rather
she remained beside Jesus, suffering and praying, until the end. And she
saw the radiant dawn of His Resurrection. Let us learn from her to witness
to our faith with a life of humble service, ready to personally pay the price
of staying faithful to the Gospel of love and truth, certain that nothing that
we do will be lost.”
- Pope Benedict XVI
For Reflection:
In what way do these words of the Holy Father speak to you today? Are we willing to face the moments of our life, from this second forward in persona Maria? How have Mary’s dolors encouraged you and strengthened you to do so?

Day 29: Daily Gracelines: ADVENTure with Mary
Theme: The third Sunday of Advent is all about JOY. The third week of Advent begins on Guadete Sunday. We are reminded of His birth and coming, and we await rejoicing!
Grace: I pray for the grace of joy as I await my Lord! Regardless of what happens this week, I will rejoice in God.

Reflection: "Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection." - Col. 3:12
Challenge: Let us enter into the New Year free from the burden of unforgiveness. Pray for the grace to forgive. And if you can not forgive, pray for the desire to forgive.
