Theme: Daily Scripture
“And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”
Reflection for Today
Pause with Luke 1:38. Hear these words again: “And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”
Luke does not give us a distant memory of Jesus. It places us in His company, where every word can become prayer. Read in Catholic faith, this is not a decorative sentence for social media. It is a living word meant to convert, console, and send us back into ordinary life with a quieter heart.
Today's invitation under the theme of Daily Scripture is simple and serious. If possible, bring this line to Mass or to a brief visit before the Blessed Sacrament. Let Christ finish in silence what the verse began in your thoughts.
Prayer
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from Luke 1:38. As I listen to “And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
