Fourth Sunday B of Advent Luke 1,26-38
Decision (Luke 1: 26-38)
Let us accept the will of God and renounce our will.
The sacrament of Reconciliation also belongs to the Advent of the believing Christian Catholic. It is not a problem for anyone to approach the sacrament. For another, it is no longer so simple, easy, and not at all pleasant. The human factor prevails in decision-making. He considers who knows where and how to say it. This is also important, but much more important for everyone without distinction is to decide to change their lives, their relationship, their attitude, their lifestyle… Just start living the way I have, as God, my surroundings, and myself rightly expect.
The encouragement for us is the Virgin Mary’s decision: “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word” (Lk 1:38).
Mary’s positive answer to the angel at the proclamation is current. The Church, especially in Advent, shows us the behavior of the Virgin Mary as a model. As a Jew, Mary believed in the promised Messiah. When he hears the message of the birth of the Messiah: “Fear not, Mary, you have found grace with God. You will conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the sons of the Highest. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, he will reign over the house of James forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom ”(Lk 1: 30-33); Mary thinks and asks for an explanation. It was difficult for Mary to accept the message and deliver it. Mary was a young woman. She had never experienced anything extraordinary in her life. At that time, she is engaged to Josef and wants to start a family. The message is difficult. What a great faith Mary has when she gives consent after an explanation from an angel! Mary doesn’t know what to expect. We know from the Scriptures about Joseph’s attitude toward her when she told him that the Son of God had begun in her womb. She did not know, and no one told her, did not give instructions, information on what would happen next, how the events would go, knew nothing about Bethlehem’s journey, or how the child would be born. The message does not talk about fleeing to Egypt, the time and circumstances of the return, and that it will be to Nazareth. In the events that Mary and Joseph experienced, they see their trust in God, faith, and love.
The event of the Annunciation thrilled many artists. It appealed to people much more in a specific life. Mary’s behavior, trust in God, and humble consent is challenging to anyone who has believed in God. Mary matured to receive this gift. The last words of the angel have deeply etched in the soul of the Virgin Mary: “Nothing is impossible to God” (Lk 1:37). Mary believed them, and therefore she was able to say with joy: (Luke 1,38)
God also speaks to us. Not directly, but he sends his messengers, as he sent Gabriel to the Virgin Mary. Most often, they are the closest, but especially the Church. In God’s word, the sacraments, various events, and festivities, God rightly asks us for unpleasant, difficult, and sometimes even impossible things. These include the sacrament of reconciliation. What should we do? Follow the Virgin Mary. Let us ask for an explanation; let us try to understand and realize that “nothing is impossible for God” (Lk 1:37). We, too, can say in humility that we want to fulfill what God asks of us. Who among us knows what God has prepared for us? He who does the will of God will give him enough strength, grace, and gifts of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the will of God.
We know that the story of the fairy tale is made up. When we talk about what has happened in the past, we know that it has been at least a little idealized. The life we live is neither a fairy tale nor ideal. The example of the Virgin Mary is reality. It is difficult for a person to say at certain moments: this is the will of God.
It is hard to believe a 20-year-old man who wants to live, to prove something when doctors can no longer help, that it is God’s will. It is difficult for children to believe and trust God when they need their mother the most, they are growing up, and she has died under the wheels of a car driven by a drunk driver. It is hard to believe and trust a woman in God when her husband drinks everything when he beats her when he destroys what she acquires. It is difficult for a person to believe and trust in God when he loses his job. And there are many such different cases.
Although it is difficult to understand, in such moments, the Virgin Mary comes to our aid. She, who had to go through similar situations – how to explain to Joseph that she conceived a child, why she should give birth to her child in a stable, why the king reaches for her child’s life, why to live in exile, why her son is hated, must suffer, must die… Mary is a reinforcement to us. Let us run to Maria in the difficulties of our lives. Mary does not ask why. She has given her consent and continues to trust. God knows what He is doing; He knows why He allows it. And just before the feasts of the Nativity of the Lord Jesus, we should put in order the things that devour us somewhere inside, torment us that we have caused by irrationality, unbelief towards God, our neighbors, and ourselves. God has prepared for us the gift of peace and joy. Sin unconfessed, unbridled, silenced will not make us happy. Mary’s pure life invites us to follow her and trust in God.
Today, on the last Sunday before the holidays, it is right that we have penetrated the example of the Virgin Mary and her consent to change our current way of life. Joy and gratitude are just two things God gives us. Also, we realize that God is rightly asking us for something about his justice. When God gives, He rightly asks. Mary is proof of that. It is right that our hearts can not only accept gifts but also give them. Giving abundantly, generously, as the Virgin Mary did. He understood and accepted her example as his own, and so one of the greatest composers of all time, Beethoven, fulfilled his mission. He accepted his deafness. What did it have to mean for the composer ?! He suffers for years; he does not hear. Twelve days before his death, he writes: “It is true that a heavy cross overtook me. But I ask God to serve my life. But I want to carry my cross as His will is. ”
