"And upon entering, the Angel said to her: "Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women."" Luke 1:28 CPDV
I wonder what it was like to be born without original sin? Would you be free from sinning? Now wouldn't that be awesome but being born without original sin would not prevent us from sinning. Adam and Eve, both created without sin, freely chose to disobey God. Jesus and Mary, on the other hand chose to obey their Heavenly Father. They had the same choices to make but chose God. We too have to make those same choices each day to chose God or to chose to disobey.
Mary, our Blessed Mother, whom God chose to carry His Son, she sustained Him in her womb. Her life giving blood and her yes allowed Christ to enter this world to save us. She is highly favored by God, she is blessed amongst women, she is honored by God to carry Jesus, to care for Him and nurture Him as He grew up. God honors Mary, her life of devotion is an example of how we are to respond to our Heavenly Father. Is she highly favored by you? She is by God, according to His Word.
Dear Heavenly Father, Your plan of salvation is so perfect, in its design you allow us the choice to follow or not. You allow our disobedience to bring us back to You. You give us a spiritual mother to care and nurture us if we choose too. Thank You Father for knowing how to reach each of us. I pray for those who are lost in their sin, those who are like Adam and Eve, who are freely choosing to disobey. May they see the Mother of God caring for her Son this Advent season and be drawn back to You. I ask this in Your Most Holy Name, Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
