You will conceive in your womb and bear a son

“Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” (LK 1: 31-33) 

Our Lady accepted the invitation to be the mother of Our Lord, Who is the “Son of the Most High” and Who “will rule over the house of Jacob forever.” One accepted invitation to follow God’s will changed everything forever, “and of his kingdom there will be no end.” We accepted our vocations—to be a spouse, consecrated person, or priest. Different levels are represented, but the same God’s will and the same God’s love; whatever He does is always directed by His unconditional love. 

“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” (Gospel Acclamation)
