Mary Said Yes
"Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.""Luke 1:38
Reflection
Mary was very young and said yes to something she did not fully understand. Courage is not having no fear: it is trusting even with fear.
Prayer
Lord, give me courage to say yes to You. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Did Mary understand everything before saying yes?
- What is courage?
- How can you trust God even when you're afraid?
