Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

• Christmas Season (B)

2

• Solving Marys Crisis

3

• Mary went into crisis, deepdeep into crisis
  before Christmas, before becoming the Mother the
  God.
• What is this crisis all about?

4

• That she would become the Mother of God.
• She will bear a child through the Holy Spirit.
  Therefore, no real husband. Thus, being pregnant
  outside marriage (while engaged to Joseph).

5

• 3. All this will happen while preserving her
  virginity.
• 4. From now on all her plans and dreams will
  change.
• 5. On top of all this, she does not know how and
  where will all these things lead to

6

• How did she solve the problem?
• She let go and let God

7

• Mary accepted the reality given by God through
  the angel.
• With Faith she Obeyed Gods will.
• She was faithful and trusting in God all the time.

8

• 4. She put her hope in God and through quiet joy
  allowed things to unfold before her eyes.
• She could not forsee the brutal ending of the
  child within her.

9

• All the while, we thought it was all so simple
  for Mary. But it was not so.
• And that is why we celebrate and thank Her today
  for giving us such wonderful example of faith and
  trust in God.

• And so like Mary, let us let go and let God.
