Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 1,26-38
In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
We are happy because of you, Mary
1) An angel: he is a messenger who will tell Mary of God´s greatness in her. Look back on the year and think of all the messengers God has sent you to announce God is thinking of you. Examine all the messages during this last year that have come announcing that God needs you to carry out a mission. You did not come to this world only to be an ornament.
2) His Shadow: This is to tell you God does not abandon you, He protects you and is always in your company. We often do not understand why things happen to us. But with time you realize there is an explanation for everything.
3) Get it done: Leave everything in God´s hands. Mary is an example of obedience. She teaches us that we are to accept everything God wants for us and it escapes anything we might think we want. Remember God is always generous. Mary is your perfect example.
God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
And remember, Heaven is Our Goal !
Your contribution help us to continue with our mission
God Bless You!
