“Rushing to do God’s stuff”
When Mary heard the good news about her cousin, Elizabeth, she did not wait or procrastinate. She took action by leaving the comfort of her home in order to travel a great distance to visit her cousin, Elizabeth.

We are called to imitate such love that selflessly cares for others. Such love conquers pride and does not indulge in jealousy or unkindness. Such love gives oneself without seeking for rewards or praises.

As we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, let us ask for her help to guide our feet to always hasten to reach out to others, our heart to selflessly care for others, our mind to think for the good of others, our hands to carry the wounds of others.

Question for reflection:
1) Do I hurry to do God’s things?
