“Do not fear, Mary. You have found favor with God. You shall conceive and bear a son, and give Him the name Jesus. Great will be His dignity and He will be called Son of the Most High.” The great moment in the history of salvation, began with the visit
of the angel Gabriel and the invitation to be the mother of Jesus. It is not surprising that Mary hesitated, questioned and then consented. Wouldn’t you? Her response ‘I am the maidservant of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say’ redirected the course of human history. The celebration of the Bethlehem event tonight, allows us not just to recall what happened, but to imitate Mary and permit the Lord to touch our lives in a truly special way. Our traditions and customs are rich as we relive Jesus’ entering our lives again. The Simbang Gabi celebration of Filipino Catholics or Las Posadas of Latin Catholics lead us to the stable cave to meet and adore the Lord of history, the Lord of today. We have been praying ‘Come Lord Jesus’ for the four weeks of ad-vent. Today, we welcome Him with joy. As we celebrate this special night, may we be ready to open our door not just to Joseph and Mary, but Christ who comes to us.
“No temas, María, porque Dios te ha favorecido. Concebirás y darás a luz un hijo, y le pondrás por nombre Jesús; él será grande y será llamado Hijo del Al-tísimo.” El gran momento en la historia de salvación comenzó con la visita del
Ángel Gabriel y la invitación a convertirse en madre de Jesús. No es sorprendente de que María titubeara, que se le preguntara y luego ella
consintiera. ¿No lo haría usted? Su respuesta ‘Yo soy la servidora del Señor, que se cumpla en mí lo que has dicho’, cambió el curso de la historia. La celebración del evento en Belén esta noche nos permite no sólo recordar lo que sucedió, sino imitar a María y permitir que el Señor toque nuestras vidas de una forma verdaderamente especial. Nuestras ricas tradiciones y costumbres se fortalecen al revivir la entrada de Jesús a nuestras vidas. La celebración Simbang Gabi de los católicos filipinos o las posadas de los católicos latinoamericanos nos llevan al establo a conocer y adorar al Señor de la historia, el Señor de hoy. Hemos estado orando ‘Ven, Señor Jesús’ durante las cuatro semanas de adviento. Hoy le damos la bienvenida con gran gozo. Al celebrar esta noche especial, ojalá que este-mos dispuestos a abrir nuestras puertas no sólo a José y María, sino a Cristo, quien llega a nosotros.
Dopo la testimonianza di Giovanni Battista, ecco la testimonianza di Maria, madre di Dio, che ha serbato preziosamente in cuor suo le grandi cose che il Signore aveva fatto per lei. Il concepimento verginale di Cristo, così chiaramente esposto
nel vangelo di oggi (Lc 1,34-35), non è un fatto isolato, una grazia a sé. Ma non ci è presentato nemmeno come il modo più adatto per la nascita del Messia. Ci è dato come sicurezza che il figlio, nato da Maria, “ sarà dunque santo e chiamato Figlio di Dio ”, perché “lo Spirito Santo scenderà su di te, su te stenderà la sua ombra la potenza dell’Altissimo ”. La nascita di Gesù dalla Vergine Maria non è una verità aggiunta alla verità dell’Incarnazione; è parte integrante di questo stesso mistero. E la divina condiscendenza, per mezzo della quale viene richiesto il consenso di Maria, perché possa realizzarsi il progetto divino, è ciò che san Paolo chiama la “ rivelazione del mistero taciuto per secoli eterni, ma rivelato ora... a tutte le genti perché obbediscano alla fede ” .
