Gospel text
Lk 1,26-38
Then Mary said, «I am the handmaid of the Lord».
Gospel's Commentary
Today we celebrate Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven and earth. Who could imagine that that young Jew of an insignificant village (Nazareth) would be the Queen of all creation? That same girl who gave birth to her Son in a barn, who saw her Son die on a cross like a criminal ... Yes, that same one we celebrate today as Queen of the Universe. Surprise? In human eyes, yes; in God's eyes, no! Because God shows his infinite power by becoming tiny ... and his Mother too! "You have to be very powerful to be able to become so small." It is humility, it is the way of love: God is like that! How about you, how powerful are you?
