Homily for the 8 o’clock Mass, Sunday 22 December 2024 Advent 4C: Micah 5:1-4; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45

Advent 4C: Micah 5:1-4; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45

In today’s Gospel we heard words we repeat constantly in our “Hail Mary” prayer. The first part of this prayer exactly quotes the Angel’s greeting as reported by St. Luke in the first Chapter of his Gospel, verse 28: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
