"Nothing is impossible to God". "Be it done unto me according to thy Word" with these words the Annunciation is completed and now the whole of humanity in the person of this Palestinian teenager begins to be aware of a new phase in God's revelation of His being; 

IAMIAMISFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.

The all powerful "oneness" of God is in fact a Trinity of persons. Nothing is impossible to God.

Mary is in the reality of the physical universe carrying in her womb the timeless God, who is still visiting his people, now as the same prisoner of finite time as are all his creatures. Nothing is impossible to God.

Elizabeth has conceived in her old age, past her menopause, a child. Zachariah is still speechless, but Elizabeth knows that Mary is pregnant with the Son of God. Nothing is impossible to God.

Mary tells Joseph what has happened to her. He also is inspired by God to accept the "preposterous" story of the Incarnation. Nothing is impossible to God.

"The blind see, the lame walk and the lowest of the low have the Gospel, (God's purpose) preached to them". Nothing is impossible to God.

"Thou art Peter and on this rock I will build my church". "Woman behold thy son. Son behold thy mother." Nothing is impossible to God.

Jesus is God in the resurrection of the  crucified body that still bears the wounds received for us on Calvary. Nothing is impossible to God.

According to the ability of human beings all of the above events are "foolishness". They are all supernatural in the eyes of men but they are natural for our all powerful FatherSonHolySpirit. Nothing is impossible for God.

Dear Lord help me to know, love and serve. Help me by your grace to defy sin that still pursues me. Help me truly know that your creative "Let there be Light" and Mary's assent "let it be done to me according to thy word" contain all that we can ever know about living in this world. Holy Righteousness is not a preposterous goal, pie in the sky, but is prepared for us by the wisdom of Father, the example of Son and supported by the grace brought into our hearts by Holy Spirit. There is absolutely no reason for me to blabber on. You know what is my petition for today. We learnt about love in our care for the little soulless animal that is now in need of comfort. There are many other millions of poor and needy human souls that stand before us in the priority of life in your creation. You know that I am not testing You but asking for help. I think that your being is a limitless intimacy of person to person so, Father, I can ask for all the big things, forgiveness for my sins and ever-more mercy for the Holy Souls and you will not ignore the totally innocent, preprogrammed animals that you created before us.
