Before the Incarnation, before God was made man, before Christ came to Earth taking on human flesh, He asked Mary.
He asked for her willingness to be a part of His plan. He asked for her yes to taking on the life of Christ within her.
And believe it or not, today He’s asking you the same thing. He’s asking you if you will be a part of His plan. He’s asking you for your permission for Him to act in your life. He’s asking you to take the life of Christ within you and to bring that forth into the world.
Just like Mary, we could say no. The unfortunate reality is that many days we do say no. Sometimes it’s explicit. Other times it’s through indifference. Not deciding is, in fact, a decision. Not answering our Lord is, in fact, an answer.
So today, when the Lord seeks, when the Lord knocks, when the Lord asks, what will we say? What will we do?
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we turn to the example of Your Most Blessed Mother Mary. We ask through her intercession for the grace to say yes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Keep fighting the good fight. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
