My practice for the 4th week of Advent

I will reflect on…

“…do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.”  (Mt. 1:20)

and

I shall go through this Advent in accordance with Our Lady’s instructions – in meekness and humility. (Diary 792)

Every day, with the help of God’s grace:

  • I will try to plan my day with Mary and will undertake every work, rest, meeting and all my activities with the awareness that She is at my side.
  • In these final days before Christmas, I will accept everything that will come my way with humility, with trust in God, with gratitude and with patience.
  • I will ask Mary to lead my heart into quietude, to remind me of what’s most important these days [leading to Christmas] and I will ask Her to prepare within me a place for Jesus.
