  • “Fiat Voluntas Tua” - Let Thy Will Be Done. Today we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation, where Mary gave her “fiat,” or yes, to the Lord. On this day, the angel Gabriel visited Mary and asked her to become the Mother of God. Mary responded “Behold, I am the Handmaid of the Lord. May it be done unto me according to you Word.” What “yes” is the Lord asking you for today? Trust that whatever it is He is asking is for your good. 🕊
