Jan 1: Mary Mother of God

“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.”

My mom died when I was 6 and even though I have had other mother figures in my life, Mary is such a shiningly beautiful example of motherhood.

Mary Mother of God in your diffuser:

4 drops of Frankincense

2 drops of Rose

One of her many titles is Rosa Mystica or Mystic Rose. So Rose always seems fitting for Mary. We try to diffuse it on any Marian feast. Frankincense because since she is the Mother of Jesus and Jesus was brought Frankincense symbolizing his identity in the future.
