LK 1:26 – 38
In this famous reading, the angel Gabriel has come down to Mary to tell her that she will bear the son of God. At first, Mary is frightened because she has no idea who has come into her home. She is still confused even after Gabriel explains his reason for coming. Not knowing what shall come, she must trust her faith and take a leap into the unknown.
In a way, I see this as a representation of modern day faith in young people like me. God is reaching out his hand and waiting for us to take it. With all these distractions around us today (especially with the commercialized X-Mas), we must trust our faith and take a leap into the unknown. Here we will realize that God’s plan for us will bring us more joy than any commercialized present money can buy.
