Series on "Mary and the Interior Life" by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 2)
Is your prayer and your life two separate realities?
Mary gives us a ton of hope that the grace of God and the Holy Spirit meet us in reality.
The Marian posture at the core of it is about the reality of the fullness of God. Mary teaches us that The best place to live your spiritual life is in reality—in where you are right now in this moment. It's about living one reality in the presence of God.
This episode is an invitation for us to have confidence in the daily bread and the grace given to us here and now. Let's not spend our time fantasizing about the change out there but try and respond as best as possible to what's currently there. Let's engage every part of our reality with the Lord while having a deep sense of his love and attentiveness as we respond in those moments.
