20 DEC 2021 - ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS

#AnnouncementOfTheBirthOfJesus #SayingYesToGod TOPIC: DO YOU SAY ‘YES’ WHEN GOD CALLS? First Reading: 2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 89 Second Reading: Romans 16:25-27 Gospel: Luke 1:26-38 When our permission is asked, we either give our consent or we refuse. Mary pondered and consented to the will of God. When God knocks at the door of our heart to seek our permission to enter our life, especially when we need to make decisions that entail sacrifice and discomfort, what is our posture? He does not force Himself upon us but we should know better when we say ‘Yes’ to Him. This is the 622nd installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
