Monday 22 December 2014 ~ 4th week of Advent! 1 Sam 1:24 (I am the woman) Ps 25:4-5ab,8-9,10&14 (A provident God) Luke 1:46-56 MARY’S SPIRIT EXULTS Two days before the birth of the Messiah, the Church invites us to reflect on the birth, naming, and circumcision of his precursor or forerunner, John the Baptist. Luke does not give us too many details about the birth of John, and he narrates it with a short sentence. He focuses more on the events that follow the birth and, through them, show that God’s word spoken through the Angel Gabriel, is being fulfilled. Elizabeth does bear a son and the people rejoice at the birth because of the great mercy shown by God. God’s word is a word of power and will come to pass, no matter how many obstacles we may put in its way. It is a word that enhances and builds up a word that gives life. To be sure, we may not always be able to understand and accept it for what it is, but in the final analysis, it is always a word that is for our good and for his glory.
