I have wondered about blogging and whether it would be a good idea for me to try it out. Since I have now heard that there is something called twittering too, I decided I had better blog first and then check out whatever twittering may be.
The Annunciation is the moment when Time and Eternity met formally, utterly and in such a dramatic form that nothing has ever been the same since. Reflecting on the Annunciation in praying the Rosary, I am always struck by just how complete this Mystery is. It contains all the others "in seed." The Virginal Conception of Jesus Christ, the God-Man, the Eternal Son of the Father in the flesh is the start of everything. God did it. But human nature had a role--and still does!--in the act of saying "Yes." I believe that in spite of appearances, this has served to recreate the universe. Nothing that happens after this moment can take away the "invasion" of space and time by Eternity. And we all have a share in it.
Thank you, dear Mother Mary, for your "Yes." Pray for us now, that we may continue to respond to the grace that was given to all through the Incarnation of your Son.
For what it's worth, in this, my first act of blogging, I add my "Yes" to yours. May the Word made flesh continue to claim my heart, and may I hear the whisper of the Spirit laying claim to my humanity. May my "Yes" be clear and complete in the rest of the time allotted to me and in Eternity. Amen.
