Day 14: "Joseph, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for the child which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit." ~ Matthew 1:20

God of us all,

Thank you for the gift of Mary in my life.

I rely on her to intercede for me with her son,

and to guide me, especially in my family.

Help me to learn the grace of humility,

and give me the courage to say "yes" to you

without always knowing where it will lead.

Release me from the fears that grip me,

the pride and stubbornness

that keep me from you and others.

Let me turn to Mary, so human,

for an example of how I might live my own life

more freely, more loving and more aware of you.

Amen.

Ta, Ta for Now!
