Rumor

Social media fires up and spreads the latest controversy. Rumor and riot. Running viral through the internet. 

Conspiracy theories take on a life of their own. 

And the web confuses. Disorients with half-truths. Often hurtful and hateful.

How can this be?

“How can this be…?” Mary asks. Stunned. Confused by the angel Gabriel’s announcement. 

How can a virgin conceive and give birth to the Son of the Most High whose kingdom will have no end?

The angel is tender in his response to this young woman. Explaining what will happen. That the Holy Spirit will come upon her. And the power of the Most High will overshadow her. 

Glory to God in the Highest! (Olive wood nativity from Bethlehem)
