Our Daily Prayer for Monday - Rev. Maulin Vanderburgh Bilingual Spanish/English
“Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.”

Thought: "The love of a Son for His Mother."
Jesus was nailed to the cross, at the foot of the cross stood his mother Mary and John his beloved disciple. Jesus is dying, He is in agony, gasping for each breath. He sees his mother at the foot of the cross, heart broken, weeping, and inconsolable, she heard his cry for thirst and saw them pierced his hands and feet. His heart goes out to her. Rather than being consumed by an understandable concern for his own welfare he is touched by hers. He thought about her wellbeing, she was a widow, who would take care of her? He knew his siblings did not believe in his ministry but his mother did, would they take care of her. He knew John would, so he said the following: 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. (John 19:26, 27)
It is assumed that Joseph (Mary’s husband) had died before Jesus began his earthly ministry and Jesus’ siblings did not believe in his mission. (John 7:4-6)
This means that Mary was a widow, therefore Jesus the compassionate Savior that he was, wanted to ensure that his mother would be cared for after his earthly life had expired.
Prayer:
Righteous and Eternal Father, blessed be your holy name. You are holy, you are Almighty God, you are Abba Father, the beginning and the ending. I thank you for another day that you woke me up to see, great is your faithfulness Oh Lord. Thank you for health and strength and for keeping me in my right mind. I worship your holy name.
I thank you for sending your only begotten son Jesus Christ to be the ultimate sacrifice for the redemption of our sin. Thank you Jesus for coming, thank you for dying in my stead.
I pray for every Mother today. I honor them for the role they play in caring for the Family. Lord I am reminded of a quote by Dorothy Canfield Fisher regarding mothers: “Mother is a verb. It is something you do. Not just who you are.”
As we set aside a special day to honor mothers ( Mother’s Day) I pray for strength, courage and comfort for every mother. For the mother who is struggling in one way or another to care for her family, I pray that you make daily provisions for her. Bless her financially, be her shelter and the lifter up of her head. Help her to look to you from whence cometh her help.
Father, as we honor and appreciate mothers we are reminded of the example set by your son Jesus Christ as he hung on the cross. He was concerned about the wellbeing of His mother and designated his disciple John to care for her. Thank you Jesus for being such a compassionate Savior. We love you, please extend your mercy to every mother today. For the mothers who do not know you as Lord and Savior please draw them to you that they may experience your love in a special way.
Lord hear and answer my prayer in the mighty name of your Son Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban su madre, y la hermana de su madre, María, esposa de Cleofás, y María Magdalena. 26 Cuando Jesús vio a su madre y al discípulo a quien amaba que estaba junto a ella, dijo a su madre: "Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo". 27 Entonces dijo al discípulo: "¡Ahí tienes a tu madre!" Y desde esa hora ese discípulo la llevó a su propia casa ”.
JUAN 19: 25-27 NKJV

Pensamiento: "El amor de un Hijo por su Madre".
Jesús fue clavado en la cruz, al pie de la cruz estaba su madre María y Juan su discípulo amado. Jesús está muriendo, está en agonía, jadeando por cada aliento. Ve a su madre al pie de la cruz, con el corazón roto, llorando e inconsolable, ella escuchó su grito de sed y vio cómo le perforaban las manos y los pies. Su corazón está con ella. En lugar de ser consumido por una preocupación comprensible por su propio bienestar, el de ella lo conmueve. Pensaba en su bienestar, era viuda, ¿quién la cuidaría? Sabía que sus hermanos no creían en su ministerio, pero su madre sí, si la cuidaban. Sabía que Juan lo haría, de modo que dijo lo siguiente: 26 Cuando Jesús vio a su madre y al discípulo a quien amaba que estaba junto a ella, dijo a su madre: "Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo". 27 Entonces dijo al discípulo: "¡Ahí tienes a tu madre!" Y desde esa hora ese discípulo la llevó a su propia casa. (Juan 19:26, 27)
Se supone que José (el esposo de María) había muerto antes de que Jesús comenzara su ministerio terrenal y los hermanos de Jesús no creían en su misión. (Juan 7: 4-6)
Esto significa que María era viuda, por lo tanto, Jesús, el Salvador compasivo que era, quería asegurarse de que su madre fuera atendida después de que su vida terrenal hubiera expirado.
Oración:
Padre eterno y justo, bendito sea tu santo nombre. Eres santo, eres Dios Todopoderoso, eres Abba Padre, el principio y el fin. Te agradezco por otro día que me despertaste para ver, grande es tu fidelidad Oh Señor. Gracias por la salud y la fuerza y por mantenerme en mi sano juicio. Adoro tu santo nombre.
Te agradezco por enviar a tu único hijo Jesucristo para que sea el sacrificio máximo por la redención de nuestro pecado. Gracias Jesús por venir, gracias por morir en mi lugar.
Rezo por cada Madre hoy. Los honro por el papel que desempeñan en el cuidado de la familia. Señor, recuerdo una cita de Dorothy Canfield Fisher sobre las madres: “La madre es un verbo. Es algo que haces. No solo quién eres ".
Al reservar un día especial para honrar a las madres (el Día de la Madre), oro por fuerza, coraje y consuelo para todas las madres. Para la madre que está luchando de una forma u otra para cuidar de su familia, oro para que usted haga provisiones diarias para ella. Bendícela económicamente, sé su refugio y el levantador de su cabeza. Ayúdala a que te mire de dónde viene su ayuda.
Padre, mientras honramos y apreciamos a las madres, recordamos el ejemplo que dio su hijo Jesucristo mientras colgaba de la cruz. Estaba preocupado por el bienestar de su madre y designó a su discípulo Juan para que la cuidara. Gracias Jesús por ser un Salvador tan compasivo. Te amamos, por favor extiende tu misericordia a todas las madres hoy. Para las madres que no te conocen como Señor y Salvador, por favor, acércalas para que puedan experimentar tu amor de una manera especial.
Señor, escucha y responde mi oración en el poderoso nombre de tu Hijo Jesucristo.
Amén.
