Today in the Church I heard the story of an angel and a frightened girl in Nazareth. In it I heard echoes of my own doubts, my own anxieties and uncertainties. I felt consoled and reassured with the simple words: “Do not be afraid.” Like Mary, I so often find myself asking, “How can this be?” The answer= because “nothing is impossible with God,” though very often nothing is obvious with God either. Who would have thought a virgin in an obscure village would become God’s dwelling place? In these final days of Advent, I begin to believe that Christ’s birth this year will changed everything. This gospel today assures me, uplifts me, and summons me to believe the unbelievable; and so should you my friend.
