Reflection
 69:  Articles 57-59 of  THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH
 


                                       LUMEN GENTIUM
, 1964 

 

Right through Jesus' life, Mary was actively present:

- when Jesus was conceived after the angel told Mary of God's plan
- when Jesus and John the Baptist jumped in their mothers' wombs
- when Jesus was born of Mary in a stable and shown to the shepherds and Magi
- when Jesus was presented in the Temple by Mary
- when Jesus changed water to wine at Mary's request
- when Mary bravely stood by the cross of Jesus
- when the Pentecost Holy Spirit was poured out on Mary and the apostles

Mary, please help me be aware of your presence in my life,
so that I may be more aware of Jesus' presence in my life
