Episode 44: Mary, Cause of Our Joy
Join Lisa and Laura for our new 4-week Advent series, House of Gold. The Virgin Mary is called the House of Gold because she was Jesus’ resting place: the one who threw the doors wide open with her YES. Mary made room for Jesus, and she has room in her heart for each one of us, too. This Advent we will prepare our hearts for the birth of our Savior by diving into a new title of Mary each week. Today, Lisa and Laura are excited to kick us off with a conversation about Mary, Cause of Our Joy. Have you ever struggled to find joy at Advent? Do you long for quiet preparation but always find yourself getting sucked into the constant doing? If so, you are in the right place. Grab some hot chocolate, a cozy blanket, and let Mary be your guide to true Advent joy.
Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
Luke 2:46: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.
Luke 1:35: And the angel said to her in reply, “The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.”
Ephesians 2:14: For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility.
Luke 1:29: But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.
2 Maccabees 6:30: I am not only enduring terrible pain in my body…but also suffering it with joy in my soul because of my devotion to him.
1 Samuel 2:1-10: Hannah’s Prayer
Luke 1:38: Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word.
Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.
God wants to do something to you this Advent. Ask yourself: where is my focus? Is it in doing or receiving? In what area am I being asked to cooperate with the Holy Spirit?
