“Thanks to her vow of surrender, everything is divinely disposed for this direct hold of God’s word over her.”

-Father Marie-Dominique Philippe, O.P.

Today’s Reflection:

Though Mary received a singular grace from God never to be repeated for all eternity, could it be that your surrender, seeking to mirror her own as closely as possible, could divinely dispose you to a greater hold of God’s word over you? How would you most like to experience that hold? In what one way today can you cooperate with grace to make your surrender more like Our Lady’s?
