Mary’s “yes” was a bold act of faith. Faith whispers trust even when the path is uncertain. This week, let us practice saying “yes” to God in small ways, believing God’s word will be fulfilled.
El “sí” de María fue un acto audaz de fe. La fe susurra confianza incluso cuando el camino es incierto. Esta semana, practiquemos decir “sí” a Dios de forma poco pequeña, creyendo que la palabra de Dios se cumplirá.
If we love God, we will undoubtedly love our neighbour also; they are as cause and effect.

Letter to Elizabeth Moore
[God] knows I would rather be cold and hungry than the poor in Kingston or elsewhere should be deprived of any consolation in our power to afford.
