This week's gospel tells of Mary's Annunciation.
In her reflections on Mary, Barbara Taylor writes,
“Mary wins her place in history
not for her cleverness, nor for her beauty,
nor even for her goodness.
She becomes the most important woman in the world
simply because she is willing to say yes to an angel’s strange proposal
without a clue where it will lead her.
Doing so, she becomes the prototype for all of us
who are into invited to bear God into the world.”
(Kirkridge Readings and Intentions, Dec. 23, 1990)
