Jesus loves everyone, – even the lowly. Am I always like that? Even if someone is “unpopular” or I do not want to be associated with them just because they are uncool or annoying? Wouldn’t I be putting myself above Jesus? If they don’t deserve my mercy, do I deserve God’s? Do I guard my heart the way God wants me in terms of relationships? I can be patient during this time and instead let God strengthen my heart and soul. I will be much happier if I fully trust in God.

Think about being with Jesus for eternity, with God and Mary and all the angels and saints. When pondering eternity, I wonder also, how I would want to live my life – I only have one chance to be merciful, thankful, grateful, kind, loving, caring; every reflection of Jesus, I should strive for. Then I think of how much Jesus sacrificed for me. His passion, his crucifixion, his death was all so that I may experience eternity with him, because he loves me. With that in my subconscious, I can find the motivation I’ve been looking for towards a life of holiness.

Lord, help me to abandon my own will and abandon my own possessions. I pray that you will help me trust in you and guide me to your kingdom, which no amount of earthly value can compare. Keep my mind and my heart fixed on Heaven.

Mary is always ready to embrace me. Her arms are always reached out in a hug…Mary is the Queen of Heaven. Mary is with me all the time. She will always comfort me… Will embracing authentic femininity help with fulfilling the role as a Daughter of God, the role Mary set?
