"And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart." (Luke 2: 19)
What Mary kept in her heart and pondered deeply are all the words she heard in the course of her pregnancy and birth of Jesus Christ: Angelic salutation, Joseph's dream, Elizabeth's greeting, Simeon and Anna's words and the testimony of the shepherds. Together these words were profound signs from God to Mary to strengthen her faith in her unique mission.
We too receive our own signs. Sometimes, they are little signs and occasionally they are big signs. It is a good idea to form the habit of noting all signs that we receive from God and to reflect on them frequently. All the signs together form a critical mass that point to our destiny.
