She lived in His presence and looked for His Will in all things. Her whole being was a yes to God, a Fiat: Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to Your Word.

Mary, His Mother and ours, was the greatest disciple of Jesus. To look at Mary is to see Jesus. To follow Mary, the saints tell us, is the surest way to come to that union with Christ Jesus which we are called to by baptism. It is no longer I that I live, but Christ who lives in me (Gal 2:20)
