At the end of the week, read them all aloud. Relax, breath deeply, meditate. 20 - Share a skill. Teach a child to garden or bake, a teenager to do home repairs or prepare taxes. 22 - At a time when the infant survival rate was low, it was a moment of joy for Mary to be promised her child's survival.
Infant survival is still low in some places.
23 - Mary sacrificed herself, her humanity, her reputation by allowing God to use her body. We make sacrifices when we allow Jesus to come into our lives. Wear a white garment to remind yourself of the purity of life that Jesus made possible. Christmas Day - Read and meditate on Isa. Remembering the unsanitary conditions that Mary and Jesus endured, donate baby toiletries or clothing to an agency for the benefit of single mothers.
