The conclusion of Mary's conversation with the angel announcing she will carry Jesus, was this, from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 1:
"Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word."
This is a declaration we should all make. As the Lord's "handmaid," we are agreeing to do God's will, even when it differs from our own, even if it is difficult to do.
Mary's Yes! brought Jesus into the world. What will his grace do with your Yes!?
