May 27. Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Theological meaning

Mary guides believers along the path of prayer and intimacy with God. She encourages us to nourish our interior life.

In the Bible

“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” (1 Samuel 3.9)

Meditation

Our days sometimes pass without us taking time to stop, even briefly. The interior life can easily be pushed aside. Yet it is in this quiet space, where God meets and transforms us, that what is essential takes place. Mary invites us to be creative in cultivating intimacy with God.

Prayer

Mary, lead me into a deeper and more faithful prayer.
