“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.”
When we choose to accept God into our lives, we welcome the Holy Trinity into our hearts. We say “Yes!” to God the Father’s Divine Plan. We incarnate Christ through our thoughts, words, and works. We allow the Holy Spirit to inspire us to become holier people. When we do this, the Most High overshadows us and when others look upon us they will see God at work. By giving our will over to God like Mary did, we make Him present to others through our acts of charity and mercy. Most importantly, our fiat opens us up to risking ourselves for God and His children. We grow in faith, hope, and love and soon discover that anything is possible when we put our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies into a task for God.
Do we welcome God into our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies on a daily basis? How can we make ourselves more open to God’s Will? Are we willing to attempt the seemingly impossible out of love for God and our neighbors?
O Lord, Holy Spirit come upon us.
Amen.
