Fr. Mark-Mary: 本集节目以圣伯纳德的著作《赞美圣母的四篇讲道》为基础，探讨了天使报喜的奥秘。圣伯纳德的文字如同蜂蜜般甜美，他生动地描绘了全人类对救世主的渴望以及玛利亚的顺服如何开启了救赎的大门。他将世界比作一间房子，而玛利亚的心是那扇门，救世主耶稣在门外等待着玛利亚的回应。玛利亚的“fiat”（顺服）是关键，她的回应让救世主进入，带来了救赎和喜乐。节目中，我引导听众思考全人类对救世主的期盼，玛利亚的谦卑与信心，以及耶稣的等待与不强求。
圣伯纳德: 天使向童贞女玛利亚报喜，告知她将怀胎生子，这孩子将由圣灵所生。天使等待着玛利亚的回应，而全人类也同样在等待着这个充满慈悲的回应。我们因罪孽而受苦，救赎的代价正摆在玛利亚面前。如果她同意，我们就能立即获得自由。我们都是由上帝永恒的圣言所创造，然而我们却走向死亡。玛利亚简短的回应将使我们恢复生命。亚当和他的后裔被逐出伊甸园，他们恳求玛利亚给予回应。历代圣祖，包括大卫、亚伯拉罕以及所有生活在死亡阴影中的人们，都在恳求她。全世界都在等待，都在玛利亚脚下低头，因为她的回应关系到受苦者的安慰、被囚者的救赎、受诅咒者的解脱以及所有亚当子孙的救恩。因此，请迅速回应天使，或者说，通过天使回应上帝。只要说出一个字，就能得到圣言。给予你的回应，并怀上上帝的圣言。吐出一个短暂的字词，就能拥抱永恒的圣言。为何迟疑？为何害怕？相信，赞美，并接受。让谦卑获得勇气，让羞怯获得自信。现在不是童贞的单纯忘记谨慎的时候。在这个特殊的时刻，不要害怕冒失。如果沉默会取悦，那么你的善良更应该开口说话。蒙福的童贞女，敞开心扉去相信，张开嘴唇去同意，在你的子宫中迎接你的创造者。看哪，万民所渴望的站在门口敲门，起来，快跑，打开。起来，凭着信仰起来，凭着祈祷快跑，凭着同意打开。看哪，她说：我是主的婢女，愿照你的话成就吧。

Quick introduction to St. Bernard, St. Bernard of Clairvaux. He was a Cistercian monk.
Jesus alone, Bernard insists, in the face of the complex dialectical reasoning of his time, Jesus alone is honey in the mouth, song to the ear, jubilation in the heart.
"Virgin, you have heard that you will conceive and bear a son. You have heard that it will be by the Holy Spirit and not by a man. The angel is waiting for your reply. It is time for him to return to the one who sent him. We too are waiting for this merciful word, my lady, we who are miserably weighed down under a sentence of condemnation. The price of our salvation is being offered you. If you consent, we shall immediately be set free. We all have been made in the eternal word of God, and look, we are dying. In your brief reply, we shall be restored and so brought back to life."
"Behold, the long desired of all nations is standing at the door and knocking." "Get up, run, open. Get up by faith, run by prayer, open by consent. Behold," she says, "I am the handmaiden of the Lord. Let it be to me according to your word"
