Homily of the Day

  • December 20, 2018

     

    In Luke’s first chapter is the announcement to Mary that she would conceive and bear a son to be called Jesus. “Let what you have said be done to me.” Mary’s answer is free consent. Her strong faith in the Word of God enables her to say “Yes.” The angel leaves her to carry on her responsibility. We see here a very concrete example of how our words, thoughts, and actions ought to be one with God. Because Mary is completely imbued with the Word of God, she is able to become the mother of the Word Incarnate (VD#26).

    Now that we are nearing the birthday of Jesus, the Word Incarnate, let us ask the Lord for the grace to always be attentive to his word and to respond freely to it, like Mary.
