“Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be

done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed

from her.” Luke 1:38

It is through Mary’s “YES” that the promise of the prophets finds

fulfillment. Mary serves as a role model for all stewards.

Then the angel departed from her.

Luke 1:38

What a wonderful day it it. Not only is it the Fourth Sunday

of Advent, it is also Christmas Eve. Let us focus for a

moment on a person who plays a central role in the Advent/

Christmas seasons: Mary. In the story of the Annunciation,

there’s one line that always strikes me. It is the last line, the

line cited above.

The angel has just accepted Mary’s “yes” to bear “the Son of

the Most High,” and then he leaves her! Couldn’t he have

given Mary some details on what she should do next? If I

were Mary, I might have asked, “Is there a manual that goes

with this? Something that will tell me how I am to raise the

Messiah?” But no. The angel departs. Mary has her faith. She

has her personal relationship with God. And she has one day

at a time—one wonderful day at a time—to partner with God

in bringing hope and love into the world. Mary has what each

one of us has—faith, and a beautiful son, who is also residing

within us.
