PRAYER MOMENT
Saturday
13 June 2015, the Pure Heart of Mary
SHE
STORED ALL THESE THINGS IN HER HEART
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “He stayed behind … His
mother stored up all these things in her heart.” (Luke 2:41-51)
Reflection. The Church pauses for a
moment today to consider Mary who played such a pivotal part in the story of
Jesus. We try to reflect on what it all meant to her and we pick out a passage which
mentions her “storing all these things in her heart.” She does not understand.
She does not judge. She holds back, treasuring everything in her heart and
waits for the time when it would become clear. Every mother of a teenager knows
this moment. A young person stretches out towards their destiny and the parent anxiously
notices and waits. Mary pondered but did not demand immediate answers.
Prayer. Lord, as we honour your
mother, help us to wait in trust for the answers we long for. Bless our parents
who have watched anxiously over our progress. Amen.
