1/1/20: Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God: How We Too Can Bear Jesus

Today the Church celebrates Mary under the title, "Mother of God." There are so many things we could say about this important theological title, but let's ask today how Mary got it. How did Mary become the Mother of Jesus, the Eternal Son of God? It was by her "yes" to God's invitation. God invites her into a love relationship with Him. She says 'Yes', and by the power of the Holy Spirit, comes to bear Jesus inside of her, and then she bears Him to the world. Isn't this exactly what God wants of each of us too?! That we would become a tabernacle and thus bear and share God to the world. But it starts with our "yes" to his loving invitation!
