Meditations from Fr. Mark. To quote:
In the end, for those who allow themselves to be illumined by the grace
of the sacred liturgy today, there is a return to the song of the
beginning. “Rejoicing, I will rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be
joyful in my God. He has clothed me with the garment of salvation, and
with the robe of justice he has wrapped me about, as a bride adorned
with her jewels” (Is 61:10). This is the song not only of the beginning
of today’s Mass; it is the song of Mary’s beginning in her mother’s
womb. It is the song of every new beginning in grace. It is the song of
every man and woman once paralyzed by fear, but now set free to stand
unafraid in the sight of the Father. It is the song of every heart
darkened and stained by sin, but now made bright and clean by grace. It
is the song of every life wounded by sin, but healed by the Sun of
Justice who, even now, will rise glorious above the altar “with healing
in his wings” (Mal 4:2). The last word and the first belong to joy. (Read more.)
