A Christmas Alleluia
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”—Luke 2:13–14 (ESV)
Today's daily devotion
Reflect on the Blessed Mother
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.—Acts 1:14 (NIV)
This verse is the only mention of Jesus’ mother by name after the Resurrection. Scripture affirms that the Blessed Mother, Mary, spent the rest of her days on earth in constant prayer. Reflect on the profound hope she must have felt as she continued her devotion to God.
Heavenly Father, as I prepare to celebrate the birth of the Savior, lead me to look at the many Biblical figures and their tremendous sacrifices. Like them, guide me to live my life so that it magnifies You.
