Luke 1:26-38
圣路加福音 1:26-38
In today’s Gospel reading, the story of the Annunciation—holds a deep and personal meaning for me. In this passage, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary, announcing that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus. What touches my heart most is the way this moment reveals God’s grace and presence. When Gabriel greets Mary as “highly favoured” and assures her that “the Lord is with you,” it’s not just a statement—it’s a powerful reminder of divine love. Mary wasn’t chosen because of her own merit but because of God’s will and favor. This speaks to me on a profound level, showing that God’s presence isn’t distant or abstract but personal and near, guiding us—just as He guided Mary—through life’s most unexpected and transformative moments.
Take a moment in prayer to ask the Lord: ‘What are You revealing to me through this Gospel?’ Be open to His voice and allow His Word to transform your heart.
在今天的福音中，圣母领报的事迹对我个人具有极深的意义。天使加俾额尔奉天主差遣显现给圣母玛利亚，对她说：「妳将怀孕生子，並要给他起名叫耶穌。」最触动我的是，天主在此刻向我显示祂的恩典与临在。当天使加俾额尔向圣母玛利亚请安「万福！充满恩宠者」并向她保证「上主与妳同在！」这不单是一个陈述 – 也是强调天主的慈爱。圣母玛利亚蒙召不是因为她自身的优点，而是因着天主的旨意及眷顾。这句话让我深切领悟，天主的存在不是遥不可及或模糊不清的，而是如此的亲近我们每一个人，祂指引我们–就像引领圣母一样–让我们度过生活中的革新和超乎寻常的经验。
让我们静默祈祷，“主，祢藉着这段福音要告诉我什么信息呢？”我们打开心门聆听并接受主的声音，让主的话语改变我们的心。
