"Let it be done unto me according to your will."
Today I completed my 33 day preparation for, and professed again my 'Total Consecration to Jesus Christ through Mary'. On this feast of the Annunciation, it was God's will that only through Mary's "Yes" would 'The Word become flesh and dwell among us.'
Mary has led me to Jesus all my life. When hearing about her appearances and her messages in Fatima when I was about 8 years old, her presence on earth fascinated me and penetrated my being. I couldn't imagine not listening to her words to us. How could one ignore Our Blessed Mother's messages when she was crying for us to listen? I began to pray the rosary daily, and although not perfectly, have continuously sought to live her messages through the years.
Mary converted my heart and brought me to Jesus. She will do the same for all who listen to her with love. One shouldn't fear that by loving her and placing yourself in her hands, that she will take you away from God. That could never happen, for no one loved or gave herself more completely to God than Mary. She continues to love her Son completely in each one of us -- the members of His Body -- desiring only to lead us into union with God. So, far from taking us away from God, Mary is God's chosen instrument of grace who brings Jesus to flesh in us. She is our helper and our Mother, whom Jesus entrusted to us on the Cross.
So, entrusting myself to her, I place myself and this endeavor in her hands, as I say "Fiat" to what God is asking of me.
Amen. I believe. Let it be done according to Your Word!
