Hail Mary, “Full of Grace”. Mary was uniquely blessed with the gift of God’s holy life—grace—from the moment she was conceived in her mother Anne’s womb.
We, too, are recipients of God’s grace. Today Paul reminds Us, “God…has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing…God chose us…to be holy and without blemish.”
This is how God sees us; even with our faults and failings, God sees us as good, as holy, as filled with grace, the very life of God. We are called to see ourselves as God sees us.
Thank you, Generous God, for creating me in goodness,. Help me only—and always— to see the goodness in all your people.
