Solemnity of the Annunciation : God Becomes Man—Nine Months Before Christmas

Gospel Reading: Luke 1:30–33

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.” 

 

Lord, the answer is “Yes!” Yes, I choose your divine will. Yes, You may do with me whatever You will.

May my “Yes” be as pure and holy as our Blessed Mother’s.

Let it be done to me according to Your will.

Jesus, I trust in You.

Amen.
