A proposito di questo titolo
The homily explores Mary's courage, noting her fear as a teenage girl confronting an angel, yet her willingness to question the message. The speaker highlights a key difference from the story of Zachariah: the angel patiently explains the miracle of Mary's cousin, Elizabeth, as proof.
The core message revolves around radical submission: Mary's agreement ("Here I am, the handmaid of God") was not merely passive consent. The homily stresses that Mary's "yes" was a complete surrender, putting her life at risk in a society where she could have been legally killed for being pregnant.
This story serves as a challenge for us today: are we willing to obey God, or do we only want God to obey us? Ultimately, the sermon calls every listener to follow Mary's example and become a "God-bearer" (Theotokos) in the world, transforming our lives so that others can see God when they look at us. It’s a call to prepare for Christmas by imitating Mary's life, not just remembering an event.
