Gospel
Luke 11:27-28
'Happy the womb that bore you and the breasts you sucked!'
As Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, ‘Happy the womb that bore you and the breasts you sucked!’ But he replied, ‘Still happier those who hear the word of God and keep it!’
Reflection
In essence, this passage encourages a deeper understanding of what it means to be blessed. It calls us to listen attentively to God’s word and to embody its principles in our lives, thereby fostering a community that transcends biological connections, united instead by faith and obedience. Through this lens, we discover that true happiness lies not in our lineage but in our commitment to living in accordance with the divine will.
Let us pray
O Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ,
I come before you with a humble heart, seeking your intercession and guidance. You, who embraced the divine will with unwavering faith, inspire us to trust in God’s plan for our lives.
Amen
