My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it.
(Luke 8:21)
Lord, open my ears to your Word. We honor Mary, not just for being your mother, but essentially because of her “Fiat,” the complete assent of her will. She acted always in accordance with your divine plan.
The more we are in accord with your will, the more closely we are connected. What is my “Fiat” right now? I have promised to listen for you and praise you every day. With your grace, I can persevere. It costs me so little time and yet the peace you bestow on me is overwhelming. Let me never fail to consult you about every trial, every obstacle, and every decision. Make me yours.
