From the moment
of our birth to our death, we are called to be humble servants of the Lord.
However, we often forget this calling when faced with the trials and
temptations of the world. We slowly but surely become servants of no one, but
ourselves. This Sunday before Christmas God gives us a helpful reminder of what
our vocation is supposed to be. He does this by presenting us with Mary, the
Model of Humble Service to God and to all His children. She is the mother of
Christ and our spiritual mother. She shows how to put our trust in God and live
according to His Word and our Lord, Jesus Christ. If we think about it each day
in our lives is a repeat of the Annunciation, only we are in the place of Mary.
We have the free will to choose God’s Will or not… to make our lives a living
fiat or not.
How do we respond
to these moments? Do we wholeheartedly say so be it when God calls us to do
something in our lives? Or do we say, no or not now and deny God’s Will in
favor of our own?
O Lord, we want
to be your humble servants and to live according to your Word. Please inspire
us to become living fiats to your Will.
Amen.
