Luke 2:16-18 (NABRE) So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds.

Lord God, as I reflect on the humble birth of Jesus, I am filled with awe and gratitude. Like the Blessed Virgin Mary, help me to treasure and ponder Your mysteries in my heart. Guide me to live in faith and obedience, just as she did. May Your peace and love fill my life, and may I always honor You with my prayers and actions. Amen.
