“I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say.”

And with these very simple words, the door is open so that God can become one of us. If we learn to say those things truly, from our heart, each time we do it we allow God to be present in our world. This is a great responsibility and also a great privilege and a great dignity.

Have you ever felt that your answer should be like that of Mary and in doing so you were allowing for a little more goodness and justice to be present in the world?
