Daily Reflection: Wednesday, December 20
Wednesday, December 20, 2023 – 3rd Week of Advent https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122023.cfm
Today’s gospel reading from Luke is Mary’s BIG YES to God. Mary did not say to the angel hold on, I need time to think about this and check this out with others. When we have a major decision to make in our lives, we might pray about it, reflect on it, and discuss with others to make sure that we are doing what is right. This is something we need to do. We have to remember that Mary had a special gift of not being born with effects of original sin. This is very difficult for us to fully understand. What we can learn from Mary is that we need to place our trust in God. And to make sure that we bring God into our decision making; along with the other things we do when making a change in our lives.
