Todays’ gospel brings us to the Annunciation of Jesus. Mary, going about her daily activities and encounters the angel, Gabriel, who tells her that she, is now pregnant.
I think of our spirituality like this annunciation from our baptism. At baptism we are born with Christ and we die with Christ and within us resides this soul that has been consecrated to “image and likeness of God.”
We are consecrated to bare this infant child, our infant spirituality, and fostering its growth. We have to feed our soul and take care of it so that it remains pure as a virgin and “magnifies the Lord.”
That’s what confession is for and that’s how we return to that pure virgin soul that “magnifies the Lord.” It’s our life with Christ, and it’s our life for Christ.
Let your soul magnify the Lord in your thoughts, words, and actions.
