Saturday memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Saturday of week 34 in Ordinary Time
Reading: Daniel 7:15-27
Daniel’s vision today reveals the ultimate destiny of history: “His Kingdom shall be everlasting; all dominions shall serve and obey Him.” In a world marked by shifting powers, fragile structures, and human ambitions that rise and fall like waves, this promise grounds us in unshakeable hope. God’s Kingdom is not an idea or a distant dream, it is the final truth toward which all creation moves. Every injustice, every fear, every form of darkness will ultimately bow before the Lord who reigns in holiness and love. This certainty frees our hearts from anxiety and invites us to live already as citizens of His eternal Kingdom. On this Saturday dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, we remember that she was the first to let this Kingdom take root in her life. Her “yes” opened the way for the everlasting reign of her Son, and her humility shows us how to welcome that reign each day. When we live with this vision, that Christ’s Kingdom alone endures, our decisions, fears, and priorities are transformed, and we begin to walk with the quiet strength of those who know where history is headed. Let’s reflect: Do I live each day with confidence in Christ’s everlasting Kingdom, allowing this truth to shape my choices and calm my fears?
