Today we celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation, the Anniversary of the day of Incarnation, the day that Christ became man and dwelt among us, when the angel announced to our Blessed Mother that she is with child. Her response, her "yes," is known as the fiat. I'm an especially big fan of the fiat, as it is something I try to live by."Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Your word."
~Luke 1:38
Reflect on your life and think about times when God has called you to do something. What was your response? Did you willingly and obediently respond as Mary did? Or did you ignore or disregard it? Don't worry--it is not too late. Spend some time today praying that when God calls you to whatever vocation He has planned for you that you will respond like Mary.
And remeber--God is with us always, as we celebrated today. He lies in Tabernacles across the world, just waiting to be adored and venerated by His beloved--us.
"Behold, God's dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them."
~Revelation 21:3
