Advent Weekday
Wednesday before ChristmasYesterday's gospel reading is contrasted with the profound faith of Mary in today's gospel, Luke 1:26-38. Mary completely trusts in the words of the Angel Gabriel when he comes to announce her new mission in life: Mother of 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.”
Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
