In today’s Gospel we hear the story of the Annunciation, when the angel of the Lord announced to Mary that she would give birth to Christ through the Holy Spirit. Mary allowed God’s messenger to speak to her. She was attentive, not afraid to enter into a dialogue, then unconditionally obedient. Mary’s acceptance of this mystery is a stewardship model for us. Good stewards remain open to the incursions of divine life into the normal course of their daily lives.
How open are we to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our own lives? What might we do this last day of Advent to be more attentive to the Lord?
