Messiah:
Aramaic: “Mesiha”
Hebrew: “Masiah”
Greek: “Christos”
-which means the “Anointed”, the one that is to come as we wait for Him
during the Advent season
Jesus: comes from the Hebrew word “Yehoshuah” which means “Yahweh is
Salvation or God Saves”.
Conflict: Mary was chosen to be the mother of the Son of God but she has
no relations to any man.
Solution: The Holy Spirit will come upon her and the power of the Most High
will overshadow her.
The Annunciation is the event which made Mary the Model of Faith/
Anne and Joachim: parents of Mary
Elizabeth, her cousin: barren and old but got pregnant. Zechariah/
Zachary, husband of Elizabeth. John the Baptist, their son.
Immaculate Conception: title of Mary which means: Mary was
conceived without original sin. She was preserved from any stains of
original sin.
Lesson 2- Visitation
When Mary greeted, the infant in the womb of Elizabeth leaped for
joy.
Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit, she said: “Most blessed are you
among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb…”
Mary’s response is entitled “The Magnificat” which is the Canticle of
Mary.
Canticle means song of praise to the Lord.
The wise men: Melchor, Gaspar, Baltazar… brought the 3 gifts: gold,
myrrh and frankincense
Gold: symbolizes the kingly mission of Christ. Myrrh: His prophetic
mission and Frankincense: His priestly mission.
Jesus was born in a manger symbolizes that He is intended to be the
suffering servant/ Messiah.
