Reflection

“Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
–Luke 1:45

Prayer

Life-giving Word,

On this feast day, we remember the example of Mary, who by believing your word brought your very own Son into the world. Her special vocation inspires us all, to seek and to find the unique calling you have placed upon each one of us. Give us all a share in the grace to hear and believe the words you now speak to our hearts—the missions you have called us to fulfill—and may we do so with faith and perseverance. For the life of the world, we pray. Amen.
