Mary's Fiat: A Perfect Example 🙏 Mary's Fiat, meaning "let it be done," is her response to the Angel Gabriel when he announced that she would conceive and give birth to the Son of God. In Luke 1:38, Mary says, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word." This humble acceptance demonstrates her unwavering trust in God's plan, even in the face of uncertainty.

Living in the Present Moment 🌞 Mary's Fiat teaches us the importance of living in the present moment. Instead of worrying about the future or dwelling on the past, we are called to trust in God's plan for each moment of our lives. By doing so, we can find true joy and peace, regardless of the uncertainties we may encounter.
-
Embracing Uncertainty as an Opportunity 🌈 Rather than fearing uncertainty, we should view it as an opportunity for growth and deeper reliance on God. Just as Mary's Fiat allowed her to participate in the greatest plan of salvation, our surrender to God's will can lead us to unexpected blessings and graces.
