How will this be, since I am a virgin?” “I am the Lord’s servant,” “May it be to

me as you have said.” (Luke 1:30-38)

“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me—holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.” (Luke 1:46-55)

“Son, why have you treated us like this?

Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”

(Luke 2:48-50)

“They have no wine.” “Whatever He says to you, do it”

(John 2:3-5)

Mark 3:31-33 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd

gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind”…

Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

Acts 1:12-14Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill

called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city. When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.

They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

SowingBehold, there went out a sower to sow…

Mark 4:3

• Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb . . .

GleaningThe land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. Ps.

67:6

• Luke 2:33-35 The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: "This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”
