Gospel for Monday Dec. 08,2014 (Luke 1:26-38) In the sixth month of Elizabeths pregnancy God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee named Nazareth. He had a message for a young woman promised in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of of King David. Her name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, Peace be with you! The lord is with you and has greatly blessed You! Mary was deeply troubled by the angels message, and she wondered what his word meant. The angel said to her, Dont be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you. You will become pregnant and gave birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was, and he will be the king of the descendants of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end! Mary said to the angel, I am a virgin, How, then, can this be? The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and Gods power will rest upon you. For this reason the holy child will be called the Son of God. Remember your relative Elizabeth. It is said that she cannot have children, but she herself is now six months pregnant, even though she is very old. For there is nothing that God cannot do. I am the Lords servant, said Mary; may it happen to me as you have said. And the angel left her.
