“Protecting our children— Diocese

Promise to protect; pledge to heal In an effort to protect all children and to promote healing, the Diocese of Gaylord encourages victims of child abuse or neglect to report the matter. In fact, many professionals are re-quired by Michigan State law to re-port suspected abuse or neglect of a child or minor. Individuals should contact their local office of the De-partment of Human Services. If an allegation involves sexual miscon-duct of a minor by clergy or any em-ployee of the Diocese of Gaylord, even if it is in the past, individuals may also contact Larry LaCross at (989) 705-9010.” Catholic Service Appeal

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ Jesus, Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!Behold, your king is coming to you;He is just and endowed with salvation,Humble, and mount-ed on a donkey,Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zech: 9:9-10, Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/phrases/Daughter-of-Zion/type/nasb We hear this as our first Reading today, and are called to reflect on it's fulfillment in Christ Jesus!!! We now fast-forward to Luke 1:28. When Luke records the greeting of the angel, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!” There are two keys to understanding this text in relation to Mary as the fulfillment of the ancient “daughter of Zion” prophecies.

1. The Greek word for hail is kaire, which can also be translated rejoice. In fact, the New King James Version of the Bible translates it as, “Rejoice, highly favored one!” Because this “new name”—kecharitomene—is in the feminine, we could also translate it as “Rejoice, fa-vored woman.” The angel does not say “the Lord shall be with you;” he says, “The Lord is with you.” Could this hearken back to the prophetic “daughter of Zion” prophecies of old? There is really no biblical way around it. The ancient prayer of Moses was definitively answered in and through what was likely to have been about a fifteen year-old young woman named Mary, and in a way beyond the wildest imaginings of the ancient prophets. Because of her “yes,” after all of those centuries in waiting, God would finally dwell “in the midst of his virgin Daugh-ter of Zion.” Indeed, this verse becomes an excellent example of what Scripture scholars refer to as the polyvalent or multi-layered nature of Scripture. The angel’s greeting not only signals that Mary is “full of grace,” but that she is the true “Daughter of Zion.”

So how does this relate to Mary being free from sin? We saw before that it was the sin of Is-rael that prevented God from dwelling “in the midst of” “the virgin daughter of Zion.” How fit-ting for the New Covenant Daughter of Zion—in the midst of whom the Lord would dwell bod-ily—to be free from all sin. The obstacle that kept God from dwelling in the midst of his peo-ple had been eliminated through Mary’s Immaculate Conception, and Mary becomes the ar-chetype of the Church—“holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:27). On one level, since she was “full of grace” Mary was the fulfillment of the prophecies con-cerning the Daughter of Zion even before the Incarnation. And yet, there was more to come. Mary’s fullness of grace had prepared the New Covenant Daughter of Zion for something the Old Covenant people of God could never have fathomed. It was grace that made her fit to be a worthy vessel to bear the King of Glory in her body. The fulfillment of God’s promise would not be complete, then, until Mary conceived Jesus in her womb. Source: Tim Staples- www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/the-immaculate-daughter-of-zion When we pray the very Scriptural and beautiful prayer "Hail Mary", we are acknowledging and rejoicing at the fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy that starts with Jesus, conceived in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit!!! and ritualize it in a glorious way on Palm Sunday, where the Church proclaims why this fulfillment matters!!! The Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ for our SALVATION!!! THIS MATTERS FOR ALL LIVES! And remember,

You are loved,

Father Patrick
