5th day

I was supposed to go to a chuch near my house but since I was out of the house early, i drove farther and ended up somewhere else.

The gospel says that in the sixth month after the conception of St. John the Baptist by Elizabeth, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to the Virgin Mary. Mary was of the house of David, and was espoused to Joseph, of the same royal family. And the angel having taken the figure and the form of man, came into the house and said to her: "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." Mary having heard the greeting words did not speak; she was troubled in spirit, since she knew not the angel, nor the cause of his coming, nor the meaning of the salutation. And the angel continued and said: "Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus. "



Priest's sermon was focused on what a christian is. He said that in the gospel, there are two things uttered by the angel Gabriel that could best describe a follower of Christ:

"the Lord is with thee" = A christian has the Lord with him/her. Therefore, s/he is a happy person.

"Fear not" = A christian is fearless. Fearless because s/he is with the Lord.

So we all should smile. Stay postive. And we should have courage.
The Lord is with us.

Do you have what it takes to be a Christian?
