| Luke 1: 26-38 |
One of the challenges of faith is to recognize God's plan for us
and to remain open to God's will and God's actions in our world. Filled with
God's grace, Mary models for us the kind of faith that is needed to cooperate
in God's plan of salvation. Like Mary, we are given the awesome opportunity to
cooperate in God's saving plan. On this final Sunday of Advent, our Gospel
invites us to consider how our preparations for Christmas have made us more
aware of God's grace working in our lives.
Gather together your family and talk about what you have been
doing as a family to prepare for Christmas. How have these preparations helped
you to better celebrate the central mystery of Christmas, the Incarnation? Our
Gospel today talks about how Mary was prepared for her role in Christ's birth.
Read today's Gospel, Luke 1:26-38. Consider the question:
-What enabled Mary to
say yes to God?
-Which of your Advent
activities have made you more aware of God's grace in your life?
Conclude in prayer together that God's grace will enable your
family to be more faithful and obedient to God.
