Series on “Prepare Your Heart” by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR. (Part 4)
How often do you say “yes” without understanding or knowing the outcome? Sometimes, we have to see and understand the plan before we say “yes,” but that’s not our Lady’s experience. She didn’t understand, but she knew what God had proposed to him, and despite that, she said “yes.” She trusts; she surrenders in this whole experience of her life without knowing what will happen.
This is the fourth part of this year’s Advent series, where we talk about Mary and her radical littleness and dependence on grace and God. It is an invitation to how we can become more and more dependent, more and more empty, but with the confidence that we can be more and more full of God’s grace.
