Series on “Prepare Your Heart” by Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR. (Part 4)
How often do you say “yes” without understanding or knowing the outcome? Sometimes, we have to see and understand the plan before we say “yes,” but that’s not our Lady’s experience. She didn’t understand, but she knew what God had proposed to him, and despite that, she said “yes.” She trusts; she surrenders in this whole experience of her life without knowing what will happen.
This is the fourth part of this year’s Advent series, where we talk about Mary and her radical littleness and dependence on grace and God. It is an invitation to how we can become more and more dependent, more and more empty, but with the confidence that we can be more and more full of God’s grace.

Words, Works, and Wonders
We are all beloved sons and daughters of the Father and through our baptism we are all anointed and empowered. We don’t have to be all put together or be perfect in order to bring healing to ourselves and to other people. We are all incomplete…

Learning to Love Like Jesus
The fullness of the mission of Christ includes a heart for the poor. This is pretty central, actually, but somehow doesn’t always get a lot of airtime. This isn’t just something we do, but who we are. It’s not just a Christian thing — this is being like Jesus. And even once that heart is developed and the desire is there, the how can…

You Are Not an Outsider
We’re all really interested in what God can do for us; the healing, the restoration, the gifts of the Father. Are we as interested in committing to the long-term relationship that allows us to receive all of that? It’s all too easy to spend the inheritance while overlooking the relationship. As sons and daughters of God, we’re meant to live from the inside of Jesus’ heart.
