"Here I come O Lord, to do your will."
"I am the Handmaid of the Lord; let it be done in me according thy word."
It always fills us with wonder the consonance of the YES of the Word, pronounced by the eternity, with that of Maria, pronounced in our time, to allow the entry of God in our humanity and to give us the salvation.
Maria a teacher in the adhesion to the will of the Lord; her Yes is the ardent and joyful answer to a proposal of love that changes her life. The Spirit allows her to be open to God and in Him to every man, in whom the incarnate word, Jesus is recognized and identified.
The great mystery that involves us and prompts us to follow her footsteps without letting us intimidate from our littleness.
This feast of our family, that unites us all, the sons and daughters of the Church, around Maria, our Mother, that this day be a day of thanksgiving and beseech, that we may also live in Maria, 'as the Founder has taught us, our “yes” of love’.
(Sr. Maria Teresa, Superior General)
