Immaculate Conception of the BVM, Wednesday, 08-12-2021

Genesis 3:9-15, 20 / Eph 1:3-6, 11-12 / Luke 1:26-38    

When it comes to troubleshooting and repair work, the question to ask is this: Is it worth it?

We will look at the costs incurred and the time taken as well as the manpower involved.

And usually out of convenience and given the "throw-away culture", that is the option that we will choose.

God could have taken a similar option when man sinned and brought death and destruction to creation.

But God, in His great love for mankind, decided to embark on a plan of salvation.

That plan of salvation is at a very great price - the sacrifice of His only Son for our salvation.

And God also wanted humanity to participate in His plan of salvation.

He prepared Mary through the grace of her Immaculate Conception so that Jesus could come into the world through her.

Putting it simply, God went through a lot of trouble just to save us, though it was we who sinned.

Let us give thanks with Mary to God, and let us continue the work of our salvation by helping others to go back to God
