In his weekly catechesis, Pope Francis reflected on how the Holy Spirit empowered the Blessed Virgin Mary to become the Mother of God.
Mary's fiat is at once an act of humility and an act of courage and agency. She hears God's summons, through the Angel Gabriel, to bear the Saviour of the world.
Deacon Pedro looks at Mary's "fiat" - her "yes" to God. And then he looks at all the ways God says "yes" to us so that we may say "yes" to Him.
