So much has been written on the blog about journey making. Most recently we have watched the disciples during their journeyes confronting and dealing with the Risen Jesus. It was not easy of them.
Today we watch as the Scripture reading lets us watch as Mary begins the most challenging aspect of her life's journey. It is not challenging en ought for her to have an angel come to talk about her future. Gabriel is not there to chat. He comes with a request that would frighten Mary and forever change how we looked upon Jesus. He comes with a request that would frighten most women. So it is with the beginning of no easy journey for the young woman man.
So this is the beginning of no easy journey for the young woman. Not married yet she agreed to a most unusual pregnancy. Surely the road ahead would not be easy. But she did not back down.
And for you, me? Does Mary have any part of your life, my life when we are subject ot what seens when or my life where we are subject to what seems impossible? As we celebrate the Annunciation we should remember the trust of God . Mary realized how important God is for us.
