Only nine months till Christmas! https://bible.usccb.org/readings/calendar. Today’s feast celebrates the Annunciation to Mary that she will bring forth our Savoir. In the midst of Lent, we are reminded how our salvation began. It began in a young woman of no great significance. Even Elizabeth who is also expecting a baby in a miraculous way is also insignificant. Funny how God picks unknowns to bring about his plan. I wonder what role I play in God’s plan. I am about as insignificant as you get. Am I open to say yes as these women did? Do I have faith that every day, God is nudging me toward something potentially wonderful? My expectations are that whatever I do will be small, but it may help bring about the kingdom. Do you have faith, too? Just think for a moment what the world would be like if we all allowed ourselves to say yes to God. I’m guessing it would be a much better place and we would all be much better people.
