Monday December 9th: God’s message

‘She was deeply disturbed by these words ‘

Luke 1: 26-38

The angel Gabriel sent by God told Mary that that she was to conceive and bear a son.
We all have a guardian angel who is sent by God. This angel would come into our minds and give us a special message and ask us to do something that we think difficult or almost impossible. It may be a certain career in life that we were not thinking of, but it will be something that will be to the benefit of many.
We may have the calling from God to become a teacher or a vocation to the religious life, or even become a sacristan.
When this message comes, like Mary, we are disturbed and may even think it impossible for us. But the angel tells us that ‘nothing is impossible to God.’
Lord, let what you have said be done to me. Amen
