A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
The Immaculate Conception (Genesis: 3, 9-15, 20; Ephesians 1: 3-6,11-12; Luke 1: 26-38)
Our ‘yes’ to each other
Mary said ‘yes’ without any idea about the joys and sufferings that being Jesus’ mother would bring. Like her, we said ‘yes’ to each other without knowing what lay ahead. Like Mary, for us there have been joys and very hard times but we made our commitment and Jesus helps us keep it even if sometimes He seems far away.
