“In this great fiat of the little girl Mary, the strength and foundation of our life of contemplation is grounded, for it means absolute trust in God, trust which will not set us free from suffering but will set us free from anxiety, hesitation, and above all from the fear of suffering. Trust which makes us willing to be what God wants us to be, however great or however little that may prove.”
-Caryll Houselander
Today's Reflection:
Mary’s “fiat” reminds us that true trust in God doesn’t shield us from life’s trials, but it frees us from fear, hesitation, and anxiety. By surrendering fully to His will we open our hearts to His limitless love. Where in your life is God asking you to say “yes” with complete trust?
