Lc. 1: 26-38
'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the Son Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth ' . So John proclaims to us in the beginning of his Gospel, the mystery of the Incarnation that we celebrate today.
Day of the Annunciation, the announcement saying that the angel of God comes to bring to humanity when it appears to Mary to tell her he was going to be the Mother of God. Day of the Incarnation of the Word of God in Mary's womb have to say watching the evangelical scene. Is to stay caught up with all the mystery of love, dumb with awe and wonder we have to stay with as much love as God has to want to take our nature human to become a man.
So the promises of God to the people of Israel since beyond the threshold of humanity man had dared to break with God, but God still looking for the man, reached into the earthly paradise while Adam and Eve were hiding embarrassed to announce that there would be salvation, and God continued searching for the man, here we have the whole story of salvation history of Israel, announcing again and again by the prophets who wants to be with us who wants to be with us to offer his life and salvation.
God wants to be Emmanuel is not the God who is hidden beyond the clouds of heaven and its glory, but glory will manifest just being present among men. No men have always wanted to see signs of that love of God, but there is, as the prophet tells us 'Lord, on their own, will give a signal. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and puts his name Emmanuel, which means' God with us. "
We see it fulfilled in Mary's womb. Is the message that the angel does in Nazareth. 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest overshadow thee: therefore the saint who will be called Son of God '. As we said in the Gospel of Matthew: 'All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet ...' and reminds us all that today also we have heard in the first reading.
In the preface to proclaim 'because in the fullness of time, God sent his message to the earth and the Virgin believed the angel's announcement that Christ incarnate in her womb by the Holy Spirit, was to become man to save men '. The fullness of Eventually, he who was our salvation, the Word of God became incarnate in the pure womb of Mary and today we bow in worship before this wonderful mystery of God.
We rejoice in the Lord and we want all the blessings. We rejoice but we welcome God into our hearts and in our lives, opening us all to what he will. Like Jesus. Like Mary. The letter to the Hebrews tells us: 'When Christ entered the world, he said: you do not want sacrifices and offerings, but I have prepared a body not burnt nor accept scapegoats. So I said what is written in the book: Here I am, O God, to do your will '. Are not required animal sacrifices or offerings to the Lord things. are gone for ever these sacrifices and offerings. It is the obedience of faith. It is the sacrifice of self. It is the offering of our life to always look at all the Lord's will. 'Here I am, O God, to do your will. "
What example gives us Mary. Humble and troubled by so much mystery of God being manifest. Hard to understand God's choice but she is there as a humble servant. Who does the will of the Lord . 'Here the handmaid of the Lord, unto me according to thy word '. It is the faith of Mary. Is the availability of Mary. Is total love of Mary. Have much to learn. 'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. " Praise and bless the Lord; respondámosle with all our faith and love of our life.
