Here is Mary...
- A gift from the Lord;
- Dedicated to the Lord;
- And, throughout her life, continually presenting herself in her FIAT to God's every call...
- ...Ultimately presenting Jesus to God and to us.

Then I reflect on my life. When I was baptized as a baby, my parents and godparents presented me to God and the church. As I grew, I was blessed to have many opportunities to mature in my faith at home, in Catholic schools, and in charitable and community organizations. I grew closer to God through the sacraments, participating in service projects for the poor, developing relationships with faith-filled people, and going to Mass regularly. These were just a few ways that I dedicated everything I did to God.

Here I am...
- Given to God;
- In community;
- For the service of those who are poor.
When Mary was asked to be the mother of Jesus, she said YES to offer her whole self to this call--her body to birth Him and her life to raise and nurture Him.
Each day, I have an opportunity to reflect on how I present myself to God and give myself totally to Him and live out what He is calling me to do. And to become what I am called to be.
