"Hail, Holy Mother, who gave birth to the King, who rules heaven and earth for ever." (Cf. Isaiah 9: 1, 5; Luke 1: 33 RM, Entrance Antiphon - Solemnity of Mary).
The Church world-wide celebrates today, January 1st 2018, the Solemnity of Mary the Holy Mother of God).
Mary's chief role in the economy of salvation is that of Intercession. "Do whatever He tells you." (John 2: 5).
All the readings for today's solemn liturgy points to how eager God is to bless you and me. We shall take the First Reading from the Book of Numbers:
"The LORD said to Moses:
“Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites.
Say to them: The LORD bless you and keep you! The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!
So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them.” (Numbers 6: 22 - 27).
Abba Father is a gracious, merciful and loving Father who wants to give His children the very best of gifts. Ask therefore for the very best. Ask for the Holy Spirit. (Luke 11: 13). Plead for Wisdom. (1 Kings 3: 11; 2 Chronicles 1: 11; 1 Kings 4: 29). Ask for Faith (Luke 17: 6; Matthew 17: 20). Be bold. Ask for great gifts. Not peanuts.
SeekFirst Community wishes you and all your loved ones a 2018 filled with the Presence of the Holy Spirit, Wisdom and Faith.
