“The eternal Word, born of the Father before time began, today emptied himself for our sake and became man.” The Annunciation by the angel Gabriel, and Mary’s availability to God’s plan, opens the doorway to the mystery of the Incarnation, that is so eloquently mentioned by Saint John’s first epistle: “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life– for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us– what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:1-3) nunspeak.wordpress/2011/03/24/the-annunciation-and-the-first-tabernacle/
