How fitting to have snow falling on this Monday morning in Chicagoland, as we celebrate when the angel Gabriel came to announce she would be the one to give birth to Jesus, the Son of God.
We see in Mary a great example of trust, giving her yes to God, in spite of the challenges. But her yes was the way by which God advanced His victory in conquering sin, and making mercy possible for us through the Savior she bore. Just as is spoken of in the Second Reading from 1 John the day before this feast, as we offer a yes to God, we bring forth the faith that conquers the world, as we open ourselves to how God will unfold His plan in our lives.
