Day Eight - Purity of Intention: “A person practices purity of intention when he directs his thoughts, words, and actions not to himself or another creature but to a divine purpose or mission, and ultimately to God.” Such an attitude of the heart avoids doing things for selfish reasons and instead tries to do all things out of love for God and his glory. Can you give an example from your life of a situation in which you believe you acted with purity of intention (your actions were guided by Divine Providence)? How did you experience God working in that situation? Reflect on how Mary can help you act with purity of intention in your daily life.

2/23 ‐ Day Four: Jesus gave himself to Mary, he came to us through Mary! One of the reasons we give ourselves to Mary is in imitation of Jesus! When we consecrate ourselves to Jesus through Mary, when we give everything to her, we deepen our relationship with her, a relationship of child to mother. How does the idea of giving everything to Mary make you feel? What areas of your life might this be difficult? Ponder or (talk to Mary) about them in prayer. |
