The angel said to her, "do not be afraid Mary..."
--Luke, 1:30
Reflection: Such is Gabriel's message today to every pregnant mother. "Do not be afraid" to welcome new life, even when it upsets your plans, changes the direction of your life, and requires you to mature in unexpected ways.
If God creates a life in the womb, He is making you ready, and has plans for that child and for you.
Prayer: Lord, remove all fear from the hearts of those who are pregnant, and fill them with your peace and joy...Amen.
