Kathy and I are headed to St Marks Cathedral to hear the 12 Lessons and Carols for the season at 5 p.m. this afternoon. From the Annunciation text today: Peter Nycklemoe tells us that the response that Mary gave to the angel was yesssss! This style of child-rearing made its way to the way Mary raised Jesus to be receptive to others and to welcome healings wherever they can occur. I heard also that Gabriel is the same angel who dictated the Quran to Muhammad. I will reach out and share that with my friends who are open to making friends with Muslims. For all others who are looking for affirmation in whatever you do and wherever you go: Dont be down-heartened. Dont be browbeaten. The YES of Mary to Gabriel can empower you this week. She was very low on the totem pole, and she wasnt even married before she got pregnant. So she was in a really bad place when Joseph said he would take her as his wife. Play it here: youtu.be/pliqObTHxUQ Read it here: 1. The angel Gabriel from heaven came, his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame; All hail, said he, thou lowly maiden Mary, most highly favored lady, Gloria! 2. For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be, all generations laud and honor thee, thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold, most highly favored lady, Gloria! 3. Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head, To me be as it pleaseth God, she said, my soul shall laud and magnify his holy Name. Most highly favored lady, Gloria! 4. Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born in Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn, and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say-- Most highly favored lady, Gloria!
