Luke,
Chapter 1, verse 50:
50 His mercy is from age to age to those who fear
him.
Today is also the third Sunday of Advent called Gaudete
Sunday and we light the rose colored candle because we are rejoicing in that
Christ is drawing near with his birth in ten days. We are to rejoice just as Mary did in her Canticle
of Praise when she entered the house of Zechariah.
“My soul proclaims the
greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior. For he has looked
upon his handmaid’s lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me
blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is
his name. His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has
shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart. He has
thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly. The
hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He
has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to
his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
I
would like to focus on the words from “age to age”. In physics, spacetime (also space–time, space
time or space–time continuum) is any mathematical model that combines space and
time into a single interwoven continuum.[1] As I understand it what has
been done in the past and in the future continues forever rippling through time
and space from “age to age”. If this is
the case let us follow Mary’s example and develop in ourselves Holy fear
through her virtues of: humility, generosity, chastity, patience, self-control
and of course love.
