Today's Readings:

Reading 1: Luke 1:26-56

More prophetic fulfillments today, as God's plan for the Incarnation is revealed and fulfilled. In this moment the greatest miracle occurs - the Creator becomes the created, and bridges the gulf caused by sin.

After all the promises and disappointments of human history, this Story is going to turn out very well indeed. Not by human effort, but by God's intervention. This is a truly mind-boggling solution to the problem of sin!

Whether you have read these passages once or countless times, let the wonder of what God has done increase for you today.

Mark.
