A Very Mary Christmas And A Happy New Year!
It began in Nazareth, over two millennia ago when a virginal girl named Mary was plucked from obscurity for a miraculous feat. Her faithful heart and a covenant with The Almighty, veered history from the expected.
In an age when genderism was in full swing, women were restricted and relegated to second-class citizens, had no rights, were denied education, were bound to the home except to draw water from a well or go to the market, and could not own anything. This era of machismo and female oppression, would exalt Mary who possessed the best Gift.
Jewish laws and customs authoritatively dictated Mary's mundane residential daily activities. What a surprise when archangel Gabriel appeared, and announced that she would bear a Son by God. She most likely was frightened and confused by the apparition and his words, but consented leaving skid marks in the limited and inferior roles of women.
There is always hope; change is possible, and soaring to unimaginable unexplored heights awaits everyone. We rely on a calendar to indicate that this is the instance to make a resolution or renovation. Is this a global excuse to enforce procrastination? Or, a calculated maneuver to save up and ignore our collective ills and dislikes, and dump them on a New Year's dream? Be it sloth or a regimented mindset, this is not the answer.
There is no time like the present to look within, clear out, and try something different. Feel like there is more to life, stuck, tired of failed attempts? Spend some time with Mary, who is the chosen channel, and bore our Savior when tradition discriminated against and forbad such an act or accolade. With a new year, comes half-hearted promises that will be ditched like fast-flying refuse from a speeding vehicle. What are you waiting for?
May the year ahead grant us "2020" vision, and a solid platform to create, and set ourselves forth. Mary is the first disciple. Let's follow her footsteps with admiration and gratitude. He is waiting to do great things for you. Happy New Year !!!!!!!!!! May your expectations and resolutions be grand and successful! Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord IS with you…
