Thursday 8 December

the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin

Genesis 3:9-15, 20; Psalm 98; Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12; Luke 1:26-38

Chosen

In Ephesians we read, ‘we were chosen to be the people who would put their hopes in Christ before he came.’ We are called to put our hope in Christ, just as Mary did. In this Advent season, we can trust Mary to lead us to her Son. Mary trusted that God was with her. She recognised the Holy Spirit and said ‘yes.’ May we recognise the call to new life.
