The Annunciation
1. The Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother
of Jesus.
2. Mary always complied with the will of the Father. She said, “…let it
happen to me as you have said.” (Lk 1:38)
3. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Word became flesh.
4. There was always great intimacy between Jesus and His Mother. From
the first moment of conception, she felt the life of Jesus, Son of God,
grow within her womb.
5. The Child Jesus is with us this day. He is in our brothers. He is in our
children. If the Child Jesus were here and we were about to hold Him,
talk to Him, and be with Him, we would treat Him with such joy and
such kindness! Jesus is in our brothers. Jesus is in our children. Jesus is
here this day. Do we treat our brothers, our children, and one another,
with the same kindness that we would the Child Jesus?
6. The invisible Jesus was inside of Mary’s womb. He was there in His
divinity and His humanity. He was God from the first moment of conception.
The invisible Jesus remains with us today in the tabernacle. He
is present there in His divinity and humanity. We do not see Him, but
He is no less present in the tabernacle than the day Mary carried Him
in her womb.
7. God is love! He calls us to come to Him, to be close to Him. He truly
waits for us in the tabernacle. He is a prisoner awaiting those He loves,
the precious souls. So many forget Him day after day. He, the Son of
God, waits and waits to share His love with the precious souls that He
came to this earth to save.
