Marian Meditation of the Day:

Verse
The manifestation of the Spirit is given to all for some benefit... All these things are produced by the same Spirit who distributes to everyone as he wills.

-- 1 Cor 12:7-11

Reflection
The Holy Spirit distributes His gifts, His virtues, and His grace through Mary.

He distributes them to whomever He wills, as many as He wills, and in the way that He wills.

-- St. Ignatius of Antioch

Prayer
O Mary, it is through you that the Spirit pours forth His graces.

Help me to cooperate fully with the particular gifts of the Spirit that are bestowed on me.

Amen.

Remember to Pray the Rosary for Peace!
