“…is it so extraordinary that God whom we read and see to be wonderful in his saints, should show himself even more wonderful in his mother?” 

                                                                        St. Bernard of Clairvaux

For Reflection:

Saints and theologians tell us that Mary merited more grace than all the other saints combined and that she did this by giving God her “fiat” again and again in all of her life’s circumstances. Name some moments from Scripture in which we see Mary giving her “yes” again and again through her word and/or deed.
