December 2 – TOWARDS OUR PATRONAL FEAST
“Open to the Spirit, she consecrated herself totally as lowly handmaid to the person and work of the Saviour.” Here Mary’s overall attitude is proposed to us as a model. She was docile to the Spirit, she responded with an unconditional yes to God’s invitation: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord: let it be done to me according to your word!” (Luke 1:38). From that moment forth she was totally consecrated to the Saviour’s person and work.
