A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) on the Readings for Mary Mother of God
Mary, Mother of God (Numbers 6:22-27; Galatians 4:4-7; Luke 2:16-21)
The enormity of our calling as couples
Today we celebrate Mary as Mother of God. ‘How can this be?’: her initial question to the angel. How can we understand our calling as married couples? To be a sign of God’s love in the world, loving, honouring, cherishing until ‘death do us part’ is a huge challenge. May Mary’s daily ‘yes’ encourage us to ‘ponder it in our hearts’.
