Life in the Shadows

English Homily - Second Sunday of Subara The Gospel speaks of the angel's announcement to the Blessed Virgin Mary, emphasizing the Holy Spirit overshadowing her. The concept of shadow is explored, highlighting its association with protection and retreat. Mary's acceptance of God's will led her to be under the shadow and protection of God. The example of St. Peter is used to illustrate the contrast between casting shadows of life and light versus darkness and despair. The reflection concludes by urging individuals to consider the shadow they cast in the world and to seek alignment with God's will to be instruments of light and life.
