Welcome, receive and put into practice the Word we hear, the message we hear. Every time we begin our practice of lectio divina an annunciation takes place. Listening to and welcoming the Word of God becomes a way of life. We keep vigil every morning, we try to live in recollected openness to the Word. After a lifetime of practice, nothing is lost to our vigilance.
Annunciations are everywhere.
The late Fr. Philip told me that when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, after the doctor left the room, he got on his knees and accepted the announcement in prayer. He knew it was a Word from God and welcomed it from the Father who loves us. Ahaz would not even consider an announcement from God. There was no room for God.
