Happy New Year
.
Today is the Feast of Mary, Mother of God
.
I imagine that Mary must have moved about in two worlds. On one level, she was probably a bit overwhelmed with caring for a newborn child, physically sore and exhausted from childbirth, not even living in her own home, and just a little exasperated that she had to “entertain” visitors both regal and common. On the other hand, she realized that it was an historic moment and that she was the mother of God. The Mother of God!! No wonder she was pondering in her heart!
How often do we move through life completely absorbed with the minutiae of our daily jobs? While tending to the important details of our existence, we should take some time periodically to ponder in our hearts. I wonder what we might learn. Are we an important piece to a bigger puzzle? What is that bigger picture? As our lives fit into a grander scheme, how can we contribute to the greater good? We may not find all the answers to these questions, but the pondering could bring us closer to them.
