Scripture Reading
Luke 1:46-48
And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed."
Reflection
Our Lady of the Rosary invites us into the rhythm of contemplative prayer — taking up Scripture's great mysteries and turning them over in the heart like smooth stones. Mary's own Magnificat shows us what such prayer produces: a soul enlarged by wonder, humbled by grace, and filled with joy. Today, return again and again to God in prayer, trusting that the repetition itself is a form of love.
Prayer for Today
Happy fabulous 50th birthday. May this half century be the start of true happiness, joy and prosperity in your life. May it magnet metals of abundance and wealth into your bosom. I pray you relish in wisdom and knowledge. And may magical moments trail this great year of your life. I decree ease and comfort into your world henceforth. A new kind of bliss shall you dwell in. May you reap bountifully every good seed you've sown over the years. And may your yesteryears be the least you've ever been. This, I pray is the beginning of an honourable life of achievements for you, my darling.
Amen.
