Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, December 21, 2010

The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is His Name.
- Luke 1:49

Reflection: While remaining the Mother of our Judge, Mary is a mother to us, full of mercy. She constitutes our protection. She keeps us close to Christ, and she faithfully takes the matter of our salvation into her charge.
- St. Peter Canisius


Prayer: Heavenly Father, You have filled Mary with grace and made her a Co-Redeemer with Christ Your Son. Grant that I may have constant recourse to her and attain the salvation she helped win for the world.
