March 25, 2019 Catholic Daily Reflection : Topic - God Becomes Man – Nine Months Before Christmas

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

March 25, 2019 Catholic Daily Reflection : Topic - God Becomes Man – Nine Months Before Christmas



Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 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.”  Luke 1:30-33

Happy Solemnity!  We celebrate today one of the most glorious feast days of the year.  Today is nine months before Christmas and is the day we celebrate the fact that God the Son took on our human nature in the womb of the Blessed Virgin.  It’s the celebration of the Incarnation of our Lord.
There are many things to celebrate today and many things for which we should be eternally grateful.  First and foremost we celebrate the profound fact that God loves us so much that He became one of us.  The fact that God took on our human nature is worthy of unlimited rejoicing and celebration!  If we only understood what this meant.  If we could only understand the effects of this incredible event in history.  The fact that God became a human being in the womb of the Blessed Virgin is a gift beyond our comprehension.  It’s a gift that elevates humanity to the realm of the divine.  God and man are united in this glorious event and we should be forever grateful.
We also see in this event the glorious act of perfect submission to the will of God.  We see this in the Blessed Mother herself.  It’s interesting to note that our Blessed Mother was told that “you will conceive in your womb and bear a son…”  She wasn’t asked by the angel if she was willing, rather, she was told what was to happen.  Why is that the case?
It happened this way because the Blessed Virgin said yes to God throughout her life.  Never was there a moment that she said no to God.  Therefore, her perpetual yes to God enabled the angel Gabriel to tell her that she “will conceive.”  In other words, the angel was able to tell her what she had already said yes to in her life.
What a glorious example this is.  Our Blessed Mother’s “Yes” is an incredible witness to us.  We are called to daily say yes to God.  And we are called to say yes to Him even before we know what He asks of us.  This solemnity affords us the opportunity to once again say “Yes” to the will of God.  No matter what He is asking of you, the right answer is “Yes.”
Reflect, today, upon your own invitation from God to say “Yes” to Him in all things.  You, like our Blessed Mother, are invited to bring our Lord into the world.  Not in the literal way she did, but you are called to be an instrument of His continual Incarnation in our world.  Reflect upon how fully you answer this call and get on your knees today and say “Yes” to the plan our Lord has for your life.
Lord, the answer is “Yes!”  Yes, I choose your divine will.  Yes, You may do with me whatever You will.  May my “Yes” be as pure and holy as our Blessed Mother’s.  Let it be done to me according to Your will.  Jesus, I trust in You.
