Scripture
The angel replied, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.”
— Luke 1:19
Reflection
St. Augustine said that a person who sings “prays twice.” If that’s the case, then we do an awful lot of praying in our house. My son, Alex, is constantly singing. One time I asked him why he sings all the time and he simply said, “Because it makes me happy.” That’s a good enough reason for me.
