Let’s place ourselves in Mary’s situation.. An angel appears and shares
the message that you are to become the Mother of God. This is quite a
precarious scenario because you know you had no physical relations with
any man, and now you are about to become an unwed mother. In this
biblical era, you’re already considered a second- class citizen because
you’re a woman. What makes it even more shameful is that you might be
suspected of adultery as well, because you’ve already been betrothed to
Joseph. That’s pretty much finding yourself in a difficult situation.
Still, with great humility and deep faith, Mary accepts this mission
assigned to her from above. No matter what others may think of her,
she’ll accept the task that God asks of her. Even Joseph accepts his
calling and supports his wife. And our world has never been the same
since.
Can we exude the same call to mission as Our Lady in spite of the
difficulties that will come our way? More often than not, we’d probably
find ourselves running the other way. Or perhaps, we’ll probably
bargain with God to get someone else. But, when we are requested to
service by our Creator, hopefully we can answer with total trust and
complete abandonment.
And, with God’s grace just like Mama Mary, others will benefit from our
resounding “yes” to the Father’s plan. May we always pray to be as
ready as Mary to answer in the affirmative, especially if it involves a
chance to save others.

Finally,
we pray
for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who
need our prayers the most.
Have a
good day!
