Luke 2:19

Mary
Stillness and meditation

17 After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him.

18 And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them.

21 When the eight days until His circumcision had passed, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He had been conceived.
