Day by day, the rich and the rulers of the world make people become weaker and poorer. The feeling of being unwanted make people feel lowly and ashamed. They wonder whether God remembers them at all, for their situation is beyond their capacity to handle. The words of Mary should strengthen their hope in God, for He is in favor of the lowly, who are disregarded by this world: “My heart praises the Lord; my soul is glad because of God my Savior, for he has remembered me, his lowly servant!” (Lk 1:46-48). May we never loose hope, for we are in His sight, who would definitely save us and heal us.

Abba, thank You for being mindful of our lowliness. Let Your Spirit strengthen our faith in Your saving love. In Jesus’ Most Merciful Name, Amen.
