I don't know if I've ever "remembered forward". I have to give some thought to this. If I haven't, is it because of fear of disappointment? Do I have the hope that God has not forgotten the recipe for manna? I seem to have a lot of "self-effort" in my hope and this has challenged me to re-visit the faith of Mary and give freedom for God's non-linear "time-table". Thanks for the meal.

We celebrate being the Body of Christ redeemed in Christ's blood and sent out to participate in God's hope, the hope that Mary describes in the Magnificat. May we all remember forwards with hope.
