A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) for The Annunciation of the Lord
The Annunciation of the Lord (Isaiah 7:10-14, 8:10; Hebrews 10:4-10; Luke 1: 26-38)
To ‘obey’ is to really listen
In the Gospel the angel said to Mary “Do not be afraid...you are to bear a son”.
Mary was bewildered, but she listened to God’s invitation and she said ‘yes’. We too must learn to listen with our hearts, for then we will be open to giving and receiving when discussing difficult issues in our relationship, and finding our ‘yes’.
