Saying “yes” to God

The Annunciation, Da Vinci
Today marks the Annunciation, Mary’s ultimate “yes” to God’s command. How often do we say “let it be done to me according to Your will” and really allow that acceptance to change our lives, as she does? If we imagine that we are accepting God’s will, but do it grudgingly, we are not embracing what the Father has in store for us.
The marvelous faith that our Holy Mother shows in allowing her soul to magnify the Lord is a model for all Christians. We may ask, as she does, how something impossible can be, but we can emulate her in submitting to God’s plan with joy.
Saying “yes” to God is the Amen to every prayer. With love and a willing spirit, we can accept how He moves in our lives.
