Evening: Psalm 48, 87; Haggai 2:1-9; I John 3:1-8
Mary
felt Jesus move in her womb, and praised God. Hannah did, too, after
she ‘lent’ her son Samuel to God. Both women found freedom in doing
God’s will. Jesus himself said: “Continue in my word; you will know the
truth, and the truth will make you free.” To do God’s will is to be free
… no longer a slave to illusions about life. One illusion is that my
life is my own. When we are free, we freely choose what God wants, and
let go of ourselves, as Hannah and Mary did.
