« Let your 'yes' mean 'yes'» (Jas 5,12)
You have no idea what obedience is capable of producing: by a 'yes', a single 'yes' - “Let it be done to me according to your word” - Mary becomes mother of the Most High. By doing so she showed herself to be his servant (Lk 1,38) yet preserved her virginity intact, so precious to God and in her own eyes. By that 'yes' of Mary the world wins salvation and humanity is redeemed. So let us,too, try to do God's will and always say 'yes' to God...
May Mary make ever-new virtues flower in your soul and may she watch over you. She is the sea we are to cross to reach the shore of the splendor of the eternal dawn; so always remain close to her...
Lean on Christ's cross as Mary did. There you will find great comfort. Mary remained, standing, at the feet of her crucified son (Jn 19,25). Jesus had never loved her so much as during that time of inexpressible suffering.
