MARY=OUR EXAMPLE IN FAITH!

 

OUR EXAMPLE IN FAITH!

 

Today we celebrate-

Our BLESSED MOTHER Mary

Our dear EMAMPLE in FAITH

 

Today we celebrate

The Annunciation too

 

“The angel DEPARTED from her”                                                                                          Luke 1:38

 

Let us NOT overlook

This line=For Mary

Would FACE many challenges

 

What a challenge

It must have been

For her to MANAGE

 

In this life changing news

But God was with her=

For months=in the womb

When future trials came

MARY=OUR EXAMPLE=IN FAITH!

 

“I have set you

AN EXAMPLE-

That you should do

As I have done=for you”                                                                                                        John 13:15

 

“FOLLOW MY EXAMPLE-

As I follow

The EXAMPLE of Christ”                                                                                   1 Corinthians 11:1

 

“Don’t let anyone-

Look down on you

Because you are young

But SET AN EXAMPLE              

 

For the believers in speech

In conduct=in love=in faith

And in purity”                                                                                              1 Timothy 4:12

 

Yes=that is what

Mary did for us

ALL those years ago

 

Set an example for us

IN all of these things

MARY=OUR EXAMPLE IN FAITH!

 

Mary’s example

Helps us face

THE UNCERTAINTY=we face

In this life

 

Yes=Mary is an EXAMPLE

For us=in each MOMENT

Of faith-joy-and surrender

 

As God CONTINUES to lead us

As he led Mary

MARY=OUR EXAMPLE IN FAITH!

 

“In everything-

Set them an EXAMPLE

By doing=what is good”                                                                                                 Titus 2:7

 

“To this=you were called

Because Christ=suffered for you

 

Leaving you AN EXAMPLE

That you should follow

In his steps”                                                                                                                              1 Peter 2:21

 

We may NOT

Have an ANGEL=to lead us

The way that Mary did

 

But we can PRAY

To our guardian angels

And walk BY FAITH

And not by sight

 

Mary=IS OUR EXAMPLE

In our faith

And we accept her

And remain confident=GOD

Will continue to lead us

And NEVER let us down

 

Just as he led MARY

OUR EXAMLE IN OUR FAITH!

 

Upward and onward with Mary

And her Son=Jesus Christ

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER PRESENT=Holy Father God!
