The Annunciation: On courtesy

The Joyful Mysteries

It's great  to reflect on Mary's "yes" to God (Read Lk 1:26-38)

The Annunciation has its main focus on the Incarnation: God became man to save us.

The angel and the woman engage in a gracious conversation. No orders are given, but God's plan is presented as a scenario which only the most shuttered soul could refuse. The courtesy of this encounter is arresting: Gabriel's words stir life in the womb of the Virgin and she has shown herself worthy of the greeting 'highly favoured'.

How do I express my 'will'? Is it delivered as an ultimatum or an invitation? Am I aware of the power of words and my ability to build up or knock down by what I say and how I say it?


GOD BLESS, HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Daily Prayers
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
