THOUGHTS
Today we are celebrating the Solemnity of Immaculate conception, and we are looking at the way the angel Gabriel visited Mary. That is what we mean by angelic visitation. Angels are God's messengers and God's representatives. What the angel Gabriel revealed to Mary was exactly what God wanted her to know. The visitation changed the entire worldview of the Blessed Virgin Mary, for she never remained the same after then. Angelic visitation brings about a change in a person's life. Angels are our helpers. They help us accomplish things we cannot do by ourselves. Is there any task in front of you? Invite the angels of God to help you. It was the angel of God that assisted Gideon to win the war against the Midianites. With the angel around you, there is no battle you cannot win. Angel's visitation brought joy to Mary. You need God's angels to help activate the joyful mood in your family. Angels protect us. Angels help us to pray. Don't hesitate to invite God's angels to assist you today.
