December 22 - St. Flaviano

And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;  my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name (Luke 1: 46-49).

Each of us should strive to say and live these same words of Mary. We have received so much from God and gratitude should fill our hearts. 

Heavenly Father, thank you for all the gifts, graces and talents you have given me.
