Today, I continue to ponder the courage of Mary's "May it be so." Her agreement to go along with God's desire, God's invitation. How much of this invitation matched something with in herself that longed to be called forth? What sorts of dreams are longing forth within us? What is holding us back? What are the discernment procedures we use in thinking these desires through? Would not God take great delight in our acting upon these desires? Would not these desires free us to be truly us? Oh, the courage of Mary's "May it be so."
And after Mary's response, did she, like many of us, have a moment of wondering "What have I just agreed to?"
Blessed Be as you explore the wonders and miracles of Christmas.
