Advent with Mary - Day 14
There Was a Time: An Advent Poem There was a time when there was no time, When darkness reigned as king, When a formless void was all that there was in the nothingness of eternity, When it was night.

Advent with Mary - Day 13
Quotation ”The Son of God came down from heaven and taught us by his life and words the way to heaven, and that way is humility, as he said: ‘He that humbleth himself shall not be exalted’ (Luke 18:14). Therefore, if you wish God to give you a new heart, you must first of all amend your deeds, and lament your faults and accuse yourself of your sins.” — From Saint John...

Quotation “Mary is and remains the handmaid of the Lord who does not put herself at the center, but wants to lead us towards God, to teach us a way of life in which God is acknowledged as the center of all there is and the center of our personal lives.” — Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus Address, 10 September 2006 Reflection People say, at times, “how can I be totally...

Advent With Mary - Day 11
Quotation “At the end of the colloquium, Mary answered the Angel,’I am the servant of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say.’ Thus, Mary anticipated the Our Father’s third invocation: ‘Your will be done.’ She said ‘yes’ to God’s great will, a will apparently too great for a human being; Mary said ‘yes’ to this divine will, she...
