THE PRESENTATION OF OUR LADY

3. A Life of Labor.
Hers was a life of labor in God and for God. She had always worked for God; but now in the Temple whatever She did was to be exclusively for God. See the little maiden all intent on the cleanliness and tidiness of the things used in the temple services. What love and devotion accompanied Her work. Whatever we do for God, even when it is very small, has an immense value. There is nothing small in the service of the Almighty. Also you must learn how to raise all your labor to God so that you always grow in love and merit in His presence. Then nothing will go unrewarded.
