"MARY" CHRISTMAS
"All ages to come shall call me blessed." —Luke 1:48
The archangel Gabriel announced to Mary: "Rejoice, O highly favored
daughter! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women" (Lk 1:28).
Elizabeth prophesied and echoed the angel Gabriel's statement. However,
she added: "Blest are you among women and blest is the fruit of your womb"
(Lk 1:42). Then she implied that the fruit of Mary's womb was God by
calling Mary "the mother of my Lord" (Lk 1:43). Next, Elizabeth calls Mary
"blest" again because Mary "trusted that the Lord's words to her would be
fulfilled" (Lk 1:45). Finally, Mary prophesied the last blessing: "All
ages to come shall call me blessed" (Lk 1:48).
God's word proclaims that Mary is blessed among women, the most blessed of
women, blessed as the mother of God, and blessed as a woman of faith. All
ages shall call her blessed. "Mary" Christmas!
Prayer: Father, may I have a "Mary" Christmas. May I love Jesus as Mary
does.
Promise: "God Who is mighty has done great things for me, holy is His
name; His mercy is from age to age on those who fear Him." —Lk 1:49-50
Praise: "O King of all the nations, the only Joy of every human heart, O
Keystone of the mighty arch of man, come and save the creature You
fashioned from the dust."
