riday in the First Week of Advent - Gospel Reflection, December 08, 2023

WATCH/ LISTEN: Friday in the First Week of Advent - Gospel Reflection, December 08, 2023. (the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary) #SVDyouth #YoungAmbassadorsForChrist #DailyGospelReflection #VerbumDomini On this Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, we reflect on the Gospel reading from Luke 1:26-38, where the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive the Son of God. Mary's humble "yes" to God's plan exemplifies her immaculate nature, free from sin. Her fiat teaches us the beauty of surrendering to divine will, reminding us that through obedience and faith, God's extraordinary grace can work wonders in our lives. Christ is the ONLY answer, Always and Forever! As we honor Mary's sinless conception, may we seek her intercession and strive for a pure and open heart in our journey of faith. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. #ImmaculateConception #Mary #Faith #BlessedVirginMary #HailMary #CatholicFaith *** May the Divine Word made flesh, be with you always and in all ways! #YAC #YMAC #SYM #SVDyouth #SHRINEyouthMinistry #ShrineYouth #DrawnToFollow #PromoteTheGospel #PromotionToLOVEtheWORDofGOD #UnfailingGrace #EmpowerTheYoung #ServeOthers #etAmorServeDei #YACymacSYMstrongAndUNCONQUERED #YACymacSYMfortisINVICTA (text/pic:cttro) “We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2Cor. 5:20)
