According to Your Word! - A Message for Advent from Bishop Lowry
November 28, 2021
In his annual – and final – Advent message to the Central Texas Conference, Bishop Lowry focuses on the witness and example of Mary, the mother of Jesus – the one who New Testament scholars regard as “the first and the ideal disciple.” Bishop Lowry also recognizes several similarities between the world Mary knew and our own circumstances. In his message, Bishop Lowry states, “The incredible majestic saving work of God pours through a live flesh and blood woman, a teenager at that! Despite her youth, despite her fear, Mary listens to the Holy Spirit and responds with the very essence of faithfulness. Let it be for us, according to your Word, O Lord.”
