4th Sunday of Advent - C (December 19, 2021)

 

“Blessed”

Luke 1: 39-45

 

Mary “believed what was spoken” to her by the angel at the Annunciation.  The angel told her that “the Holy Spirit will come upon” her, “the power of the Most High will overshadow” her, and that she “will bear a son.”

 

Mary believed that God is with her.  Consequently, her greeting alone brought the Savior’s presence to Elizabeth and her son, John.

 

Likewise, Mary has brought God to us, who continues to be with us.  How blessed we are!    

 

How conscious am I that I can, like Mary, bring God into the world?
