“In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Naz-areth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, ‘Hail, thou who art full of grace.’ But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a vir-gin?’ The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.’ Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her.” Luke 1: 26-38

Mary was not without feelings of confusion upon the Angel’s arrival, but was able to comprehend the significance of the appearance of Gabriel and rather react in acceptance and graciousness. Through her unwavering faith, Mary welcomed her vocation to help establish the temple of God and Christian faith. This young girl, weak and poor, low and unimportant, became the vessel for God’s greatest treas-ure and gift to the world.

Because Mary said "Yes..." It is Mary above all others who can teach us what it means to live by faith, and how to respond when God's providence disrupts the daily course of our lives, overturn-ing its rhythms and expecta-tions. Despite her fears and uncertainty over how this prom-ise could be fulfilled, she still answered "Yes." Are we able to respond to God this way? When we reflect on the An-nunciation to Mary, and her acceptance of the angel's message, we also reflect on our own vocation -- our own calling from God. In the Lord's Prayer, we pray, "Thy king-dom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" -- an echo of Mary's "Be it done unto me according to your word." Each time we commit ourselves to embracing God's call and accepting His will, we mark a new point on the path of our relationship with Him. For the rest of her life, Mary pondered her extraordinary encounter with God, turning the weight of the angel's mes-sage over and over again in her heart. From the manger to the cross, Mary's life was radically changed -- her rela-tionship with God profoundly deepened -- the moment she said "Yes." (Fr. Thomas Rosi-ca) Lessons from the Gospel Mary did not say “yes”

because she fully under-stood or had all her ques-tions answered. She said yes in faith and trust.

Mary is our primary example of holiness, humbleness and disci-pleship.

By her yes, Mary has brought us Jesus and opened for us the path to salvation and she did so in perfect freedom.

Mary can teach us what it means to live by faith and how to respond to God despite fear and confusion.

Mary had the humility to listen to the angel, the faith to believe in God and the courage to say yes. She was perfectly obedient to the will of God.

Fiat. This is the Latin word for what in English is let it be done to me. Mary’s fiat does not just compel our veneration, but also our imita-tion. Just as she submitted to the will of God, so also are we called to utter our own fiats to the will of God.

(Stephen Beale)

Bringing God's Word to Others Mary brings forth the Word of God to the world. By her "Yes" she enables the Word of God to live among the human race. Mary is alone in her assent. She does not consult anyone. She immedi-ately believes. When the Spirit gives her Jesus, he wishes to mould her spirit and transform her life personally and directly. Mary accepted to do God's will and not her own. As disciples we are also called to bring God's Word to others and as we go about this task the Spirit will mould and transform our lives. All we have to do is give an une-quivocal "Yes" and then to hear the Word of God and to practise it.

(Gwen Simon)

The Season of Advent The season of Advent provides us with a waiting space and a sacred time. It is time to pause, remember and reflect on the ongoing promise of God coming in fulfilment in our lives, in this moment and in this place. With Advent expectancy we also hope in the completion of that promise in the fullness of time and in the fullness of God’s love.

(Sr. C. O’Sullivan RSJ)

Chapter six: Some Pastoral Perspectives A big heart

199. The dialogue that took place during the Synod raised the need for new pastoral methods. I will attempt to mention some of these in a very general way. Differ-ent communities will have to devise more practical and effective initiatives that respect both the Church’s teach-ing and local problems and needs. Without claiming to present a pastoral plan for the family, I would now like to reflect on some more significant pastoral challenges.

Proclaiming the Gospel of the family today 200. The Synod Fathers emphasized that Christian families, by the grace of the sacrament of matrimo-ny, are the principal agents of the family apostolate, above all through “their joy-filled witness as domes-tic churches”. Consequently, “it is important that peo-ple experience the Gospel of the family as a joy that ‘fills hearts and lives’, because in Christ we have been ‘set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness’. As in the parable of the sower (cf. Mt 13:3-9), we are

called to help sow seeds; the rest is God’s work. Nor must we forget that, in her teaching on the family, the Church is a sign of contradiction”. Married couples are grateful that their pastors uphold the high ideal of a love that is strong, solid, enduring and capable of sustaining them through whatever trials they may have to face. The Church wishes, with humility and compassion, to reach out

to families and “to help each family to discover the best way to overcome any obstacles it encounters”. It is not enough to show generic concern for the family in pasto-ral planning. Enabling families to take up their role as active agents of the family apostolate calls for “an effort at evangelization and catechesis inside the family”.

Clement I, Pope & Martyr (+101) Feast Day: Nov 25

Pope Saint Clement I of Rome is also known as Clemens Romanus. He is considered by the Roman Catholic Church, if Saint Peter is seen

as the first Pope, to be the fourth, although some records

list him as being the immediate successor to Peter. He was the first Apostolic Father of the early Christian church. Clement's best known writing is a letter to the Christian Church in Corinth, often called the First Epistle of Clement or 1 Clement. Few details are known about Clement's life. He is known to have been a leading member of the church in Rome in the latter part of the 1st century. According to tradition, Saint Clement was banished from Rome during the reign of the Emperor Domitian. He was sent to Chersonesus where he was sentenced to work with other prisoners in a stone quarry. Saint Clement arrived to find the prisoners suffering from a great lack of water. After kneeling down in prayer, the saint looked up to see a lamb standing upon a hill. Taking his pickaxe, Saint Clement went to where the lamb had stood and struck the ground, revealing a gush-ing stream of clear water. In retaliation for this miracle and for having converted large numbers of the local pagans and his fellow prisoners to Christianity, Saint Clement was martyred by being tied to an anchor and thrown from a boat into the Black Sea. A symbol of an anchor is often used to identify him.

Pope Saint Clement I worked with a lively intellect and a passion for God to convert sinners and to advance the Church of that time. He was faithful in life and in death.

First Letter of Clement: Letter to the Church at Corinth

First Letter of Clement, originally titled Letter To The Church Of Corinth; also called I Clement, a letter to the Christian Church in Corinth from the church of Rome. It is extant in a 2nd-century Latin translation, which is possibly the oldest surviving Latin Christian work. Regarded as scripture by many 3rd- and 4th-century Christians. Concerned about a dispute in the Corinthi-an Church in which younger members had deposed older men from the ministry, the letter opposed the deposition and dis-cussed the orders of the ministry, which it asserted were established by the Apostles and were the will of God. The First Letter of Clement was an important influence on the development in the church of the episcopal orders of the ministry (bishops, priests, deacons), and it has been used to support the doctrine of the apostolic suc-cession, according to which bishops repre-sent a direct, unbroken line of succession from the Apostles (Ency Britannica)
