I am certain that the spiritual announcement made to the teenager Mary marks the moment in human time when her "Fiat" enabled WORD that has always been "God with God" to take on her created human flesh to begin his presence in the evolutionary top-level mammalian animal real-time as do all of us who become "true-men" as God creates our souls.

We have to recognise this initiating moment of the Incarnation and as did Mary never lose sight of it as we too "ponder within our hearts" "what this could mean as she was a virgin".

In today's Gospel John remembers that Jesus had warned the Disciples that when they came to pass on what they would come to learn about him they would be driven out of the Synagogue and thus unable to keep the Sabbath holy with their fellow Jews.

But by the time John came to write his memoirs, however,  his experiences had revealed that he and all his friends and converts had become "Christians" and that he and his generation had been blessed by the presence of Jesus, true God and True Man.

The very sayings of Jesus in the Gospels and the response of the Apostles and Evangelists to them are for all generations the record of how we are to respond to the ever-changing reality of life in this world. Old Testament Jewish Law has been reset and The Father has spoken, The Son has shown and The Helper continues to be and help us do the work of both.

We are in the eyes of IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT, much more capable than I feel myself to be. for he trusted a teenager to make the right response when "the Angel of the Lord appeared unto Mary and she conceived by the Holy Ghost".

‘I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.’
