While we do have saints feast days for today and this is a saints blog, I wanted to write about Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The annunciation remembers Mary's fiat to the Lord..."Let it be done according to thy word." We thank Mary for her yes because our world today would be a lot different if she had said no. What will be your YES to our Lord?
I have read some good quotes and watched this video from YouTube a few times today. And "The Angel Gabriel" is one of my favorite songs. I hope you enjoy them too!
"You have heard, O Virgin, that you will conceive and bear a son; you have heard that it will not be by man but by the Holy Spirit. The angel awaits an answer; it is time for him to return to God who sent him. We too are waiting, O Lady, for your word of compassion; the sentence of condemnation weighs heavily upon us. Answer quickly, O Virgin. Reply in haste to the angel, or rather through the angel to the Lord. Answer with a word, receive the Word of God. Speak your own word, conceive the divine Word. Breathe a passing word, embrace the eternal Word. Why do you delay, why are you afraid?" ~Saint Bernard of Clairva
