"Let it be to me as you have spoken." She said, "Yes!" With this one "yes," Mary changed the way that all creation is restored, or saved. Her one "yes" transforms our relationship to God, to nature, and to one another. One person. One "yes" to Life.
Each of us has the potential to say "yes" to life, to respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Each of us could develop our soul to be aware of God’s intent and hear His promptings to our spirit. By our response, we may become more of what God calls us to be. What we say "yes" to in our lives not only defines us, but impacts the world around us. How do we tune our souls into God’s voice? How do we have the courage to say "yes?" How do we discern the urgings of the Spirit from cultural influences, or just our own desires?
Come explore how Mary’s "yes" impacts us and how we can develop the "yes" potential within us. Perhaps we, too, can act out a "yes" that is heard throughout generations.
