Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 11, 27-28
While Jesus was speaking,
a woman from the crowd called out and said to him,
“Blessed is the womb that carried you
and the breasts at which you nursed.”
He replied, “Rather, blessed are those
who hear the word of God and observe it.”
Happy with the person that walks along with you
1- A woman. Women are the providers of the most beautiful aspect of humanity, a child. It is women, through motherhood, who cultivate values and virtues in the child’s heart. God has given us great gifts through women. We are very thankful to women. They give us life, softness, closeness, and tenderness to face a world full of violence. They bring delicacy in a world that threatens us. Thank you for being so humane in an inhumane world.
2- Raise your voice. I invite you as a good Christian to raise your voice on behalf of those who are afraid to speak, to raise your voice in prayer on behalf of those who do not know God and are discouraged to speak to God. Raise your voice to remember and remind others that Jesus is our path, our truth, and our life! Your voice, today, is the Gospel, the announcement of the Good News.
3- Blessed Mary. Through Mary we can find happiness. She is the announced promise. In Mary we see a woman committed to God. Through Mary, we see life itself. She reminds you to be hopeful even when you encounter the cross in your life, like the cross she saw when they crucified her son. Hope in God never lets us down and she reminds us that for those who believe, everything is possible.
God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And do not forget that Heaven is our Goal.
