Today's Gospel: Lk 2, 16-21
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.
Jesus, you lie in the manger and yet you are the king. Open my heart to wonder at Your presence. Let me recognize you in simplicity. Dear Jesus, thank You for coming into the world. May we always honor You and the role You play in salvation history.
Request: Like Mary, let me keep and ponder your words. Amen!
