Help
With Your Rule
The Handmaid of the Lord
Today is the Feast of the Annunciation - a special day for us Moms! Mary, our model, our mother - mother herself and perfect disciple - teaches us exactly how to live our lives : along the same lines that she lived her family life with Joseph and Jesus. She teaches us that perfect discipleship and total holiness comes from saying "Yes" to the Lord - "Let it be done unto me according to Thy Word."
So too for us. Let us renew our "Yes" to God today and consecrate ourselves to the Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart - asking her to intercede for us in our family life; to help us be good and holy moms; to lead our hearts to imitate her total openess to God, so that she can repeat in our hearts "Behold the handmaid of the Lord - I will do all that You ask Lord, because You ask it, out of love for You!"

In ever greater fidelity to our mother's rule, today then we will pray with fervor and love during our scheduled prayer times and try to remain recollected throughout the rest of the day.
We will attend to the needs of our person by choosing to do that which is 'good' over that which we would prefer.
We will attend to the persons of our husband and our children with love, and get our work done well, with care, and attention to detail.
All the while offering all that we do as a response of love to God , as a prayer for conversion for others, and an offering of reparation for sin in the world.
Fiat, Lord - Your Will be done.
