Bible Reflections I 20.12.2022 - TUESDAY I INDRAYA MANNA I

Advent: Week 4
Readings 
           I - Is. 7: 10-14
          II - Lk. 1: 26-38 
        
THE WORD BECAME FLESH
                  
The Gospel passage of the day is on the ‘Angelus’. Every day we pray the angelus three times contemplating the incarnation of the Son of God, we recite and remember at least fifty three times the greetings of the angel Gabriel to Mother Mary while praying the Rosary and we contemplate the incarnation of the Son of God in every Joyful mystery. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Church is everyday somehow compelled recall the incident of God becoming man. This is precisely because the mystery of incarnation is profound and vital in the history of salvation.

In a day we are called to recall the incident of incarnation at least sixty times because in the incarnation lies our redemption and the profound love of God for the humankind. He did not let us die in sin but came to dwell among us to restore our image as children of God. As we are in season of Advent, getting ready to behold this great mystery, pray the prayers consciously and in contemplation, to behold the Lord as he comes.
