“The angel Gabriel was sent from God to . . . a virgin . . . Mary. And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:26-33. “The day that Mary of Nazareth received the announcement of the angel Gabriel and consented to her Divine Maternity, the history of the world turned to the ocean of Divine Grace.” Cardinal Mare Oullet. Let us pray, Father we thank you for turning our history into the history of grace. One of us was able to say a complete “YES” to You. May we follow her suit by ever saying yes to You. Amen.  “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry
