"I am the Lord's servant"

We visited the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth today. When I walked it to the basilica it was overwhelming. It was modern yet beautiful and had mosaics of Mary from countries all over the world. We celebrated Mass in the lower church next to the grotto where the Annunciation has been recognized to have happened since the 4th century. We talked about how we can be a willing servant of God and do his will.

We later proceeded to Jerusalem. It is Shabbat (sabbath) for the practicing Jews which means they can't press elevator buttons. It struck me as humorous to find them standing in an elevator waiting for someone to come in that can push a button. They can thank the rabbis at Tiberious (which we visited last night) whom created the Talmud for that decision.
