As we move through the liturgical season of Advent, the spirit of a pregnant woman becomes a spiritual condition that we all share, male and female, awaiting a birth. A journey that began for Mary with the Angel Gabriel coming to a young woman, open to God’s word, now brings in strange visitors from a faraway place, who become bearers of God’s reassurance to her that her child would bring peace to earth. God’s favour does not rest on the rich and powerful, but on the woman and her child in the stable and the shepherds in the field. |
Mary is faithful and obedient. God took what was small, lowly, meek, weak and mild, the lowly like her
fishermen, tax collectors, prostitutes, the sick, the broken hearted and lost, those possessed by evil, and every lost
prodigal son and daughter in the world - and made it all holy.
With Mary, God turned everything upside down. God turned the world on its head because God took someone almost invisible and made her the mother of his Son - the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings. This Prince of Peace will keep turning the world, our lives, everything, upside down because His power is the power of LOVE and Love casts out all fear and darkness!
