“A father’s communication with his many children… that is one of the most agreeable occupations of my life” 1857
While still in Lent, this morning I find myself rejoicing with all of Creation, in and with Mary’s fiat, in her who is our model of oblation.
With the dawn I experience new wonder as I ponder the vastness of her gift to all of life, all of creation and for a moment my thoughts remind me of the crucifixion before returning to the Annunciation.
She said yes out of immense faith… She “received Christ in order to share him with all the world, whose hope he is”.
Loving God, my heart sings and dances even as it listens and opens to your will for me: so that I too might serve you in the way for which you have created me.
