⋆ This chapter deals with God, the Son, Jesus the fullness of God’s
revelation. The analogy of Jesus, the new Adam who saved
human race through his death and resurrection thereby making
right what was destroyed by the first Adam will be discussed.
Jesus as the fullness of God’s revelation (and used in the
context of Story Jesus as the New Adam). Mary’s total yes to God
exemplified her great faith and trust in God brought the Savior
Jesus. Jesus’ public ministry further manifests his presence in
the life of his disciples through out his life.

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s
pregnancy, God sent the angel
Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in
Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be
married to a man named Joseph, a
descendant of David. The virgin’s
name was Mary. 28 The angel went to
her and said, “Greetings, you who are
highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his
words and wondered what kind of
greeting this might be. 30 But the angel
said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary;
you have found favor with God. 31 You
will conceive and give birth to a son,
and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He
will be great and will be called the Son
of the Most High. The Lord God will
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
give him the throne of his father
David,
33 and he will reign over Jacob’s
descendants forever; his
kingdom will never end.” 34 “How will
this be,” Mary asked the angel,
“since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy
Spirit will come on you, and the
power of the Most High will
overshadow you. So the holy one to
be born will be called[a] the Son of
God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative
is going to have a child in her old
age, and she who was said to be
unable to conceive is in her sixth
Luke 1:26-38 month. 37 For no word from God will
ever fail.”
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary
answered. “May your word to me be
fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

 "By pronouncing her "fiat" at the Annunciation and
giving her consent to the Incarnation, Mary was already
collaborating with the whole work her Son was to
accomplish. She is mother wherever he is Savior and
head of the Mystical Body"
(Catechism of the Catholic Church # 973).

 Church teaching
✓ The Blessed Virgin Mary most perfectly embodies the
obedience of faith.
✓ Mary perfectly exemplified the common definitions of
faith as “full submission of the intellect and the will” and
the “obedience of faith”. (CFC 156).
✓ Mary was not only the first to be evangelized, to receive
the good news, she is also the first evangelizer. (PCP II,
2).

 Missionary response
Like Mary, the model of faith, we emulate her
simplicity, humility and great faith so that we
can entrust ourselves to the Lord as she did. We
can do this by being contented with what we
have and do not demand much from your
parents. We can also make our faith grow and
bear fruit.

1. To deepen our understanding of Christ’s message, we need to
read our bibles and listen to the homilies during the mass.
2. To grow in faith, we need to love and this love should be
translated to charity this charity need not to be grand but start
in our homes While at home we can do our share in the day to
day chores in order to ease our parents In school, take care of
the property of the school like your own.
3. Just as our body needs nourishment of grow and be healthy, we
need to nourish our faith life Take time to visit the chapel and
pray but more importantly participate in the celebration of the
sacraments most especially the Holy Eucharist.
