Episode 47: Mary, Morning Star

Join Lisa and Laura for the last week of our 4-week Advent series, House of Gold. The Virgin Mary is called the House of Gold because she was Jesus’ resting place: the one who threw the doors wide open with her YES. Mary made room for Jesus, and she has room in her heart for each one of us, too. This final week, they unpack the Marian title, Mary, Morning Star. Out of all the weeks in the Advent season, this is the week we really struggle to keep our eyes on Jesus. How can Mary, Morning Star, help us get everything accomplished in the next few days while remaining in Christ? Grab a coffee, hit play, and find out!

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
Galatians 6:9: And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.

Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.

Invite Him in with this episode’s reflection.
Instead of a journaling question, as you go through the busyness of the day, be mindful to look up—up to the star—and to call on Mary.
