Mary’s Choice Saved Us

Fr Michael Rasicci’s homily for Christmas Eve, the 4th Sunday of Advent, 12-24-2023, Calvary Episcopal Church, Batavia, IL

Eve, a virgin promised to Adam, listened to the tempter and started the fall from the Garden of Eden. Mary, a virgin promised to Joseph, had a love of God in her heart and listened to a request from God given to her by an angel. Mary chose to say “yes” to that request and Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt among us.

Mary’s choice saved us.

(Readings: Isaiah 52:7-10; Psalm 98; Hebrews 1:1-12; John 1:1-14)
