Fr. Mark Mary: 在伦勃朗风格的巴洛克艺术作品中，我沉思圣母玛利亚在圣殿奉献中的形象。这幅画作以戏剧性的明暗对比和情感深度为特点，描绘了玛利亚在面对生活中的惊喜、挑战和痛苦时，始终保持祈祷的状态。她不是简单地用意志力去克服困难，而是通过与上帝的持续对话和关系来度过一切。我体会到，不住地祈祷并非只是不断地重复祷文，而是将生活融入与上帝的交流之中，赞美他、恳求他、与他一同思考并降服于他。玛利亚通过耶稣的光芒，向我们展示了如何以信赖和接受的态度来面对生活中的奥秘、痛苦和承诺。我希望能够像玛利亚一样，将我的生命完全融入与上帝的同在中，通过他、与他、在他里面生活，并将我的目光永远朝向上帝，而非仅仅依靠自己的力量和理智。

Shownotes Transcript

Meditating on Mary’s presence in the Presentation scene, painted by Aert de Gelder, reveals a woman who prays not only with words, but with her entire being. In the glow of the Christ Child, she models how to receive mystery, pain, and promise with unwavering faith. Her example reminds us that holiness begins not with full understanding, but with trustful reception of all things in and through Christ. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Presentation in the Temple and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.

All of the Sacred Art we’ll be meditating with can be found in the Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide, for free linked in the complete prayer plan, or in the Ascension App. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy).
