THREADS OF A BIGGER PLAN

THREADS OF A BIGGER PLAN

Things are TOUGH

In our lives right now=

But God has a BIGGER PLAN

For each=

And all of our INDIVIDUAL LIVES

“........the ALMIGHTY

Has done great things for me........” Luke 1:49

Today we pray

OVER the proclamation

Of Mary and her PRAISE

She reflects on God's gracious

And generous action

In her life

We should all do this=

For God the HOLY FATHER

Takes an ACTIVE ROLE

In every one

Of our lives

THREADS OF A BIGGER PLAN=

God has a big plan=

For each and every

ONE OF US

“Do not those-

Who plot evil-go astray?

But those who PLAN

What is good

Find love

And faithfulness” Proverbs 14:22

“But the NOBLE

Make noble PLANS

And by noble deeds

They stand” Isaiah 32:8

“In him-

We are also chosen

Having been predestined

According to the PLAN

Of him

Who works out everything

In conformity=with the purpose

Of his will” Ephesians 1:11

Mary REALIZED

That it is God

Who singled her out

As a servant

She realized that she

IS part of a BIGGER PLAN

By God the Father

THREADS OF A BIGGER PLAN!

Mary realizes

That it is God

Who LIFTS up the lowly

That it is God

Who provides for the hungry

And comes to

HELP his chosen people

We are all

CHOSEN BY GOD!

“For many are invited=

But few ARE CHOSEN” Matthew 22:14

“As it is

You do not

Belong to the world

But I have CHOSEN YOU

Out of the world=

That is why

The world hates you” John 15:19

HINDSIGHT is always 20/20-

But God has a BIGGER PLAN=

May we all REFLECT

On the events

Of our own lives

May we DISCOVER

That in the midst

Of our disappointments and joys=

Like Mary

God is AT WORK in us-

And DELIBERATELY weaving our lives

Into something special

Like our Mary=

We are part of

A BIGGER and larger plan

THREADS OF A BIGGER PLAN!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our INDIVIDUAL PLANS=sent by the HOLY FATHER!
