Dance with Me

Today is the feast day of the Immaculate Conception of Mary!

I realized that the same Holy Spirit that came upon Mary comes to us!  The word made flesh through Mary’s humble act is with us in human form and in God’s Image!  We are in God’s image and we are in God’s grace and we have the ability to act as a reflection of his Son through the same Holy Spirit!

We can act like a magnifying glass, an instrument of God’s will, to expand the vision of others, to expand the light of love, to bring warmth and comfort, and yes, to light a fire!  “May it be done according to your word.” Luke 1:36-38. 

These are Mary’s words of total acceptance to God’s will!  We too must take the life journey God sets for us!   “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” John 14:6.

And now that we have accepted the journey God sets for us, and we now know the way, the rest of our journey is more peaceful, easier, we can take in the scenery and grasp each moment, and we look forward to reaching our destination!  It is then that we realize that rather than walking this journey, we should dance!  And dances are best done in pairs or groups!  So Dance with Me! Dance with me to Mary’s song of praise!

“My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Saviour.” Canticle of Mary.

The greatest Love that ever was, is with us now! Magnify it, share it, and dance with me!!!!

“My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Saviour…Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed…Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is His name…And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him…He hath showed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.”   Canticle of Mary.
