Another Message – Luke 1:26-39
Contemplation
Elizabeth’s cousin, Mary, is a young woman in the country also at home in her village. I feel the atmosphere and hear the voices around me. I go around the house where she lives. She’s going to be married, but it hasn’t happened yet. Suddenly, there is the same presence and Gabriel is with her in her little home. She is also frightened to feel the power of God so close. He tells her not to worry and says that she is also going to have a baby. “But I’m not married!,” she says. Gabriel explains that this is going to be even more amazing than Elizabeth’s baby – he will be God’s own son and the Holy Spirit will be the one who will make it happen! Mary says that, whatever God’s plan is, she will work with it. Gabriel goes away.
Look around. Talk to Mary … and maybe to Gabriel. How do they feel – and how do I feel?
When have I felt God asking me or telling me things which seem impossible?
Is God working miracles in my life now?
