Saturday 5th December

Is 30: 19-21 life is distressful and painful and it is also nourishing and rich; it is my true self lived out according to my lights. ‘This is the way, follow it.’ Then I know the Lord dresses my wounds and heals my bruises.

Mt 9:35-10:1,6-8 the kingdom of God is already here and I have no right to be harassed or dejected. I have the power of God. All I need do is accept it, as Mary did in her life.
