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!
