What is God calling me to do? How can I fulfill my mission? Three figures in today’s reading choose to place their trust in God, each after appear- ing reluctant to do so. Ahaz, the king of Judah, disingenuously protests his unworthi- ness in making a request of the LORD when actually he fears that he will need to ac- cept the sign. Paul now calls himself “a slave of Christ Jesus,” but had formerly per- secuted Christians (Romans 1:1). Finally, Joseph was ready to divorce Mary until the angel of the Lord counseled him otherwise. Each chose to place his trust in God once God gave him a sign. As God is truly with us, do we have faith in the signs God gives us? Sometimes the opposite of faith is fear. Judah feared its hostile neighbors and Ahaz feared he would lose his power. Mary was found with child and Joseph feared a mar- riage to an unfaithful wife. Each overcame their fear through faith in God’s promises. Through the angel Gabriel, God revealed Mary’s mission to her. She was to bear the Son of God: Jesus, the Messiah. Mary consented, “May it be done to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). Through the angel of the Lord, God revealed Joseph's mis- sion to him. He was to take Mary into his home. Joseph “did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took his wife into his home” (Matthew 1:24). Jesus had a mis- sion as well, revealed in his very name: to save the people from their sins. Like Mary and Joseph, Jesus accepted his mission. For this, we are filled with joy. 4th Sunday of Advent: Symbolizes Peace with the “Angel’s Candle” reminding us of message of the angels: “Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men.”
