Today our focus is drawn towards Mary since the liturgy of today celebrates her birth - a Feast Day that has been celebrated in the Church from around the sixth century...

When God reigns, love is the ultimate determinant and most obvious part of human living.

So a lesson for us today may well be that if we set out to make our lives a ‘continual service’ to those we love and to those who need us, then although it is not our goal or aim, we will receive back in return.

What do we labour for? What is our deeper motivation, and what gives us the capacity to persist and achieve all that we have set out to do and be in life?
