Reflection on the WORD
Mary – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus praises Mary His Mother, as the greatest of all believers who “keeps His Father’s Word of Truth and Salvation. Ponder on: Are we faithful to God’s Will revealed in the Bible and taught through the Wisdom of our Church? Pray for openness and obedience to live the Joy of the Gospel.
Luke 11:27-28
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!’
