Solemnity of the Annunciation
Reflection
"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word"
-Luke 1:38
Prayer
God of all grace,
On this Feast of the Annunciation, we remember Mary’s humble yes to your astonishing call. Grant us hearts as open and agile as hers, ready to welcome your Word and respond with faith. As the mystery of the Incarnation fills us with awe, help us to recognize the ways Christ desires to be born anew in our lives each day. May Mary’s courage guide us, her agility allow us to believe in new possibilities, and her love lead us closer to you. We ask this with Mary’s fiat in mind. Amen.
Call to Action
Do I live each day with the desire to say ‘yes’ to God’s dream for my life? What do I need to let go of in order to have that faith to say ‘yes?’
