God of wonder, who brings about good things for your people, may we, like Mary, ponder what you have done for us and treasure your words within, that our hearts may be warmed and your goodness take root in us deeply, through Jesus your son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
‘Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.’ – Luke 2:19
