Day 21 Advent Reflection

“Luke the evangelist describes Mary as: one who hears the word of God and accepts it wholeheartedly (1:38); one who believes that what she has heard will be fulfilled (1:42,45); one who treasures what she has been told and ponders it (2:19-51) …”

He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our ancestors,
to Abraham and his children forever. Amen.
