The Magnificent Fount Within

Luke 1:35

And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.

Just as the Blessed Virgin Mary had the Son of God placed in her womb when the Holy Spirit came upon her, the Son of God is placed within each of us by the power of the Holy Spirit when we receive Jesus as Our Savior.  Just as Mary carried Jesus Christ alive in her body, we carry Jesus as a living fount of holiness, righteousness, loving kindness, mercy and forgiveness.  All that He is and all the powers of the universe have been formed within us.

If we had any other fount of exceptional value within us, would we ever allow our attentions to be diverted from the most precious resource in existence?   Would we ever hesitate to share the fruits of our fount with the world around us?  Would we ever put aside for even a moment the thought of the magnificent fount?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for sending Your Son to be the fruit of the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  We bless the name of Jesus as we rejoice in His presence within us.  We pray, Father, that we will never set Jesus aside.  We ask that the Holy Spirit aid us in allowing Jesus to pour His life into ours every single moment of our lives.  May we clamor for His attention.  May our holy communion with Our Savior lead others to be drawn to Him.
