She took the risk of losing her marriage, her dear life and good reputation, but nothing had stopped Mary to say her big YES that brought our redemption.

It didn’t matter if she would have lost the earthly treasures just to gain heavenly ones in her simple obedience to God’s will. Her “Be it done to me” signified her total availability to the service of God and to mankind. She surrendered herself wholeheartedly to the unknown plan of God because she believed more in her love to follow Him than pursuing her own wants. She bowed at the lordship of His words sufficed by her humility, her obedience and her servitude. Mary knew the risks of her acts, but she chose God more than her needs, above all her wishes, and put her confidence and obedience to his will. Her trust was her zeal, her total availability was the essence of her virginity, and her obedience speaks of her utmost humility of a total surrender to his divine will. She wasn’t concerned of her pains but thought of pleasing God more than her personal gains.

In her lowliness, Mary brought forth the victory to every soul’s gladness.
