Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 21 2006 Date: December 20, 2006 09:18 pm Today's excerpt is from St. Bernard: "You have heard, O Virgin, that you will conceive and bear a son; you have heard that it will not be by man but by the Holy Spirit. The angel awaits an answer; it is time for him to return to God who sent him. We too are waiting, O Lady, for your word of compassion; the sentence of condemnation weighs heavily upon us. The price of our salvation is offered to you. We shall be set free at once if you consent...Answer quickly, O Virgin. Reply in haste to the angel, or rather through the angel to the Lord. Answer with a word, receive the Word of God... Open your heart to faith, O blessed Virgin, your lips to praise, your womb to the Creator. See, the desired of all nations is at your door, knocking to enter. If he should pass by because of your delay, in sorrow you would begin to seek him afresh, the One whom your soul loves. Arise, hasten, open. Arise in faith, hasten in devotion, open in praise and thanksgiving. Behold the handmaid of the Lord, she says, be it done to me according to your word." (From a Sermon [Office of Readings]) God Bless. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us! St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us! -- Art and Lupe Garcia, OCDS art_lupe@theapostoliccrusade.org The Apostolic Crusade PO Box 1724 La Mirada, Ca 90637-1724 Home Page: http://www.theapostoliccrusade.org/ Introduction Letter: http://www.theapostoliccrusade.org/IntroductionLetter.htm To unsubscribe to this e-mail service, please reply to this email with “unsubscribe” in the subject field.
