Mary said “Yes”. Mary coulda, woulda, and shoulda said “No” if she was concerned for herself. But she wasn’t. Mary listened to the angel and learned that God was blessing humanity with the gift of his Son. And Mary said “Yes”. Today, we are sent out into the world to share Jesus, his love and his light, with all as together we serve God and share Christ’s love with all. If we focus on ourselves, we could turn away-and lose out on the gift from God in Jesus. Or we can gratefully receive the gift of Christ-following Mary’s example in our Gospel. The choice is ours.
