  • Proper Solemnity Readings:

    • First Reading: Isaiah 7:10–14; 8:10

Reflection
Today we celebrate Mary’s “yes,” which changed history. The angel Gabriel’s announcement invites Mary to embrace God’s plan, and she responds in faith despite not fully understanding. Her example encourages us to give our own “yes” to God’s call, trusting that He works wonders when we cooperate with His will. In the midst of Lent’s call to conversion, pause to contemplate how God might be inviting you—like Mary—to bring Christ into the world.
