Kepatuhan Bunda Maria kepada Allah

 

Luk 2:16	Lalu mereka cepat-cepat berangkat dan menjumpai Maria dan Yusuf dan bayi itu, yang sedang berbaring di dalam palungan.
Luk 2:17	Dan ketika mereka melihat-Nya, mereka memberitahukan apa yang telah dikatakan kepada mereka tentang Anak itu.
Luk 2:18	Dan semua orang yang mendengarnya heran tentang apa yang dikatakan gembala-gembala itu kepada mereka.
Luk 2:19	Tetapi Maria menyimpan segala perkara itu di dalam hatinya dan merenungkannya.
Luk 2:20	Maka kembalilah gembala-gembala itu sambil memuji dan memuliakan Allah karena segala sesuatu yang mereka dengar dan mereka lihat, semuanya sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan kepada mereka.
Luk 2:21	Dan ketika genap delapan hari dan Ia harus disunatkan, Ia diberi nama Yesus, yaitu nama yang disebut oleh malaikat sebelum Ia dikandung ibu-Nya.

REFLECTION

Sikap Bunda Maria banyak yang dapat kita ikuti, Bunda Maria patuh kepada perintah Tuhan, terutama ketika mendengar kabar bahwa diri nya akan mengandung bayi mesias maka Bunda Maria berkata Terjadilah pada ku menurut perkataan Mu. Bunda Maria begitu tulus, patuh, dan taat kepada perintah Tuhan. 

Ketika Maria mendengar kabar tentang para gembala yang melihat malaikat dan menceritakan keajaiban - kejaiban yang terjadi bunda maria menyimpan dan merenungkan peristiwa itu sebab Bunda Maria percaya akan mukjizat yang Tuhan adakan.

Bahkan ketika Tuhan Yesus hilang di Bait Allah, Bunda Maria dan Joseph suami nya mencari nya dan akhirnya menemukan Nya Tetapi bunda Maria tidak marah kepada Jesus, beliau menyimpan dalam hati karena percaya akan misteri illahi dan mukjizat yang Tuhan adakan. 

DOA

Ya Tuhan Yesus Kristus Terima Kasih atas berkat Mu

Bunda Maria doakan lah kami selalu agar kami terberkati oleh Putra Mu Yesus Kristus

Terangilah kami agar bisa sabar, patuh dan taat akan perintah Tuhan

Bunda Maria engkaulah bunda kami yang maha pengasih dan penyayang

Amen

ENGLISH 

Luke 2:16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

Luke 2:17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,

Luke 2:18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

Luke 2:19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Luke 2:20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Luke 2:21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

REFLECTION

The attitude of Mother Mary is something many of us can emulate. Mother Mary was obedient to the commands of the Lord, especially when she heard the news that she would conceive the Messiah. She said, "Let it be to me according to your word." Mother Mary was sincere, obedient, and faithful to God's commands.

When Mary heard about the shepherds witnessing angels and recounting the miracles, she kept and pondered these events because Mother Mary believed in the miracles that God wrought.

Even when Jesus went missing in the Temple, Mother Mary and her husband Joseph searched for Him and eventually found Him. However, Mother Mary did not scold Jesus; she kept it in her heart, believing in the divine mystery and miracles that God performs.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your blessings.

Mother Mary, pray for us always so that we may be blessed by your Son, Jesus Christ.

Illuminate us so that we can be patient, obedient, and faithful to God's commands.

Mother Mary, you are our compassionate and loving mother.

Amen.
