29. MARY

"Then Mary said,
'Here am I, the servant of the Lord;
let it be with me according to your word'.
Then the angel departed from her."
Lk 1: 38

Our Founder says,
"Mary did nothing great in the eyes of the world,
and yet, who can be compared with her in heaven?
Be well convinced of this truth
that what is important is to do the will of God."

Mary's response to God's call was not just for herself but for the salvation of all people. We, too, are invited to respond with a generous 'yes' for the benefit of others.

Lord, Mary trusted your word
in spite of her fears,
and responded generously.
Help us, like her,
to have confidence
in the power of your Spirit
working in us.
