Today... a profound reminder that God's plans are both genius beyond our comprehension and so slow in playing out that we often do not even detect their presence.
How easy it is to over look the obvious... the mother of our Lord was a child herself. Formed by God with the loving help of her parents Anne and Joachim, Mary grew in the love of the Lord. From the time of the fall, He planned for her birth and the day she would say "yes" to cooperating in the redemption of mankind.
Dear Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, thank you for being perfect parents to our perfect mother. Your loving guidance and formation of your blessed daughter changed the world and the hope for all mankind.
Pray for us in these troubled times. May we remain steadfast in our faith and love for your grandson our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
