LET
IT BE DONE
Enter
into the stillness of God within.
Reading: Let what you have said be
done to me.” (Luke 1:36-48)
Reflection. Our pair of texts today are
those of 25 March, the Annunciation. They recall the moment when God invited
Mary to stretch her heart, her imagination, so as to welcome his astonishing
plan. That plan was something that Mary received: she did not think it up
herself. It was totally God’s doing: he reaches out to those able to receive
him and he stretches their hearts so that their capacity for him grows and
grows. In these days before Christmas we recall that remnant of Israel –
Zachariah, Elizabeth, Joseph and especially Mary – who were able to receive the
plan, some falteringly, others wholeheartedly.
Prayer. Lord, help us to reeive,
with all our hearts, your coming into our hearts, our families, our world. Amen.
