and God’s the father. What do you do? How do you react?
Orthodixie has a great post today on today’s Feast of the Annunciation, marking the angel Gabriel’s visit to Mary.
As the people of God, the Body of Christ – the Church – our salvation begins with Mary. Salvation for all men was wrought by the words of an obedient young girl 2,000 years ago. She is our example. She is the first Christian. She is the Mother of God. Our salvation begins with Mary’s obedience to Real Life in the Annunciation. She conceived in her womb the Lord Jesus. She conceived in her womb the Body of Christ, the Church. She conceived in her womb that against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail. In her womb Mary conceived. In reality, she conceived our Salvation.
