Annunciation of the Lord

Word for today
The Gospel of Luke 1:26-38

The ally

Here is the ally of God, the one who has never been doubtful about God, the one whose   heart is pure from any rebellion, defiance and enslaving alliance with the devil. Here is the ally of God par excellence. Who, if not her, could be tent and temple for Jesus to come onto this earth? The angel knew where to go, there was not any other ally of God like her on earth. The angel Gabriel greeted Mary with the greeting of honor and reverence, with the greeting that is for kings and queens, as she is the sublime ally of the Great King. Mary listened to the angel's voice and the message, and even if she did not understand everything at that time, she had no doubts, she did not argue, she had no hesitation or suspicion. She trusted, she totally abandoned herself to her Almighty ally and immersed herself in his will and in his love. It is Mary who, immersed in the Holy Spirit Paraclete, in that moment gave herself a title, a new name. The angel called her full of grace, she answered , to be completely servant and servant of God the Almighty. The Greek noun dùlos indicates being, becoming a mere working tool, dùlos is a strong word, it means "slave, servant." But now, with Mary, this term stands for love and obedience, total dedication of one's essence, something which she does not know perfectly about herself but she trusts to be before God. It is the alliance that becomes total gift, it is the ally who becomes servant of the All and the One, as any of the multi-cosmos has never managed to be. Mary is greeted by the angel Gabriel with the greeting dedicated to kings, he tells her, honor be upon you, because she is the Queen of God the Almighty, and Mary, at the same time, regards herself as the Servant of the Lord. Mary is Queen because she has become the Servant of God the Almighty, but she is the Servant of God the Almighty because she  is His ally, totally allied with God, the sublime and supreme Ally of God.This boundless and total alliance with God gives Mary immense power to fight and win the devil and his servants, so that she can crush the devil's head with her heel. This is why the devil cannot stand even for a moment to hear just the name of Mary, because he, who lives only to make men ally with him so that he can enslave and subjugate them, is powerless against the Ally of God, Mary, and can do nothing to all God's children who rely on Mary. The covenants that Satan wants to make with man are meant to subdue and dominate man completely. Allying with the devil means slavery. The covenant that God the Father inspires men to make in Jesus is meant to free man so that he can become a servant in love with the One who is Love, to give humanity all joy, prosperity and peace. Allying with God means becoming free servants of Love. Who better than the Ally, the Servant of the Most High, can free us from the dark alliances and lead us to the covenants of light for a wonderful life in the service of love, beauty, happiness and peace? Those who call upon Mary and consecrate themselves to her as the sublime and supreme God's ally, will be immediately freed from all alliance to the Evil One, done consciously or unconsciously during life, and those who know how to hold their thoughts tenderly in her cannot be doubtful about and think ill of God, which leads to rebellion against God and alliances with Darkness.
