Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Messiah Child – Mary the Mother”: In today’s Gospel scene, the Messiah Child Jesus was asleep in the manger. His Mother Mary looks at Him with deep love, and humbly accepting of His Divine Mystery, that is beyond comprehension. Ponder on, “Mary conceived the Messiah through the Holy Spirit. The Church is inspired to honour Her as the Mother of God!”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 2:16-21
The shepherds hurried away to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them.
As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.
When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception.
