Blessed Is She

Mary didn’t stay put after receiving Jesus—she carried Him to someone else.

“She set out in haste.” She was compelled by Love.

And we’re called to do the same.

We're called to bring the presence of Jesus into our friendships, our marriages, our families, our cities, our Church building, our everyday lives.

Who is God asking us to hasten toward today? 🤍

"My house shall be called a house of prayer [. . .] But you have made it a den of thieves” (Mark 11:17). In today’s Gospel, Jesus calls out the inordinate worldly customs eclipsing the honor due to His Father alone, and He is swift to deconstruct the “den of thieves” that His beloved sons and daughters have built outside of worshiping Him.

Friend, what are the “thieves” that rob your attention, your time, your headspace, your heart? The Lord is well aware of what is in us and what needs to be driven out. What if we invited Jesus to purge everything in us that is not of Him? What if it could be said of our souls, “He did not permit anyone to carry anything through” (Mark 11:16)? What if we could be fully cleansed by and for His love?
