Feast of Receptivity
Gabriel receives the message to convey to Mary
Mary listens to God's invitation to birth the Word
God delights in Mary's consent to bear God's Son
Mary opens herself to be filled by the Spirit
Spirit envelops Mary's welcoming Womb
Mary caresses God's Son-bearing Seed within her
Joseph welcomes Mary and her Seed to his heart and home
Jesus receives his Mission of Redeeming love
Our World receives its Savior
How open am I
~ to embrace God's Spirit
~ to internalize the Message
~ to birth the Word
of God's Redeeming Love
to our world?
