Mary's "Yes" is the antidote to the world's "No".
+Scripture
Reading: Lk. 1:26-38 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to
a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin pledged in marriage to a
man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name
was Mary. The angel appeared to her and said, “Hail, full of grace! The
Lord is with thee.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and
wondered what kind of greeting this might be. So the angel told her, “Do
not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. Behold, you
will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name
Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The
Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will
reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”
“How can this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The
angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the
Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be
called the Son of God. Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a
son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth
month. For no word from God will ever fail.” “I am the Lord’s
servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.”
Then the angel left her.
