My name is Mary Lenaburg, and it\u2019s an absolute joy and privilege to be with you today. Today we\u2019re going to talk about Mary\u2019s \u201cFiat,\u201d her \u201cYes\u201d to God, and how it\u2019s a blueprint for our own lives to help us to say yes to God in whatever it is He\u2019s asking of you. Before we begin, we\u2019re going to bring our Lady, she\u2019s right here, we\u2019re going to bring her into our conversation with a prayer. We\u2019re going to say the Hail Mary. Shall we do it together?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hail Mary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for our sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fiat For Everyday<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what I want to do with this talk is give you some practical ways that you can use in your everyday life to help you discern, figure out maybe what God\u2019s asking of you, and how you can say yes to that without fear. So we\u2019re going to take a look at Mary\u2019s \u201cFiat,\u201d at her \u201cYes,\u201d as our blueprint for this. So let\u2019s begin in the garden, shall we. The angel Gabriel appears to Mary, and Mary does not run away. This Mary, this one might get a little freaked out. As I was doing study for this, and preparing for this talk, I was struck several times by the fact that Mary, the Blessed Mother, did not run away, the fact that she remained calm, and the third thing, that she even recognized that an angel was present. And I was praying about this, and thinking about this, and reading the scriptures over and over again, and what I realized was the first step in today\u2019s talk: How can we say yes to God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, the first step is prayer, right. Mary already had a relationship with God. She was already in love with God. She was already talking to Him, and aware of His presence. She was born without Original Sin, and so there was nothing blocking her relationship with God. But even though she had no Original Sin, God did not force Himself upon her. She still had free will, just like you and I do. And she still had to choose to say yes. But even before her \u201cYes,\u201d she was listening. She was talking to Him. She was in relationship with Him. She was in prayer with Him, so that when the angel Gabriel came into the garden, she was aware that the angel Gabriel was in the garden, because of her openness to His will in her life, because of God\u2019s presence in her heart. There was nothing blocking that, and so when the angel appeared, she was unafraid. She knew he came from God, because she knew who God was. And she did that and knew that through prayer and relationship with Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do you say yes in your life? You start first with prayer. You start in that relationship with the Lord. You talk to Him. You discern His will in that relationship. What is He asking of you? Well, we\u2019re not going to know what God\u2019s asking of us unless we have a relationship with Him and we can hear His voice in our life, like Mary heard in the garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faith<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Mary knew who God was, she had faith. She knew she was made in love and for love by a God who was infinite. That word doesn\u2019t even seem to contain the greatness and awesomeness of who God was, but this relationship that she had with God led to her faith in God. That\u2019s the second step for us. In relationship, we learn to trust and believe in the other person. Because we\u2019re in conversation with our Lord, then we learn to believe in Him, have faith in Him, trust Him. Because relationship, prayer, leads to faith, which leads to trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So here\u2019s Mary in the garden, and the angel Gabriel tells her what\u2019s going to happen, or actually asks her first the question. She says yes, and then she\u2019s a little discerning. She asks a question. \u201cHow can this be?\u201d Because she knew what the ramifications were in her time for being an unwed mother. She was betrothed to Joseph. She didn\u2019t know what Joseph was going to do or was going to say. She had some practical concerns. She\u2019s like \u201cHow can this be? I mean yes, I\u2019m going to do it, but can you just maybe let me know how it\u2019s all going to work out?\u201d But she trusted Him, she had faith, because she had relationship, which leads to trust. She asked the question, Gabriel answered the question, and even though she didn\u2019t know all the details at the time, she trusted that God was going to take care of her. She trusted that He was going to work it all out, and that everything would be okay. And she did that because she was in relationship with Him. She had faith in Him. She believed in who He said He was, because He had shown her who He was throughout her life. She had no reason to not believe, and this led to a deep abiding trust with our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can we imitate Our Lady? Well, it takes prayer. It takes faith. It takes trust. That\u2019s what God is asking of us. He\u2019s given us a perfect example in Our Lady. She still had to choose God. She was not forced by God to say yes. She still had the choice. We are never forced by God to say yes; we are always given the choice. When we prepare our hearts through prayer, it\u2019s very important, that preparation, because we\u2019re preparing ourselves for saying yes to a future that we don\u2019t know all the details to. We\u2019re not sure how it\u2019s all going to work out. But it\u2019s in that right relationship with God that the answers come, so we have to be talking to Him. We have to be listening to Him. Like Mary, in our ongoing relationship with God, in our ongoing love affair with God, that\u2019s what sustains us and supports us in our daily efforts to answer His call. Because we are in right relationship, we have faith, we believe, therefore we listen, therefore we say yes, trusting that He\u2019s going to work it all out. And He does every time. He doesn\u2019t always do it the way we think He should do it, but He does work it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">God is With Us<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what, one thing is for certain: God is with us. God was with Mary the whole way. He later appears to Joseph and says \u201cThis is happening.\u201d And so Joseph, who was really questioning, because his betrothed had come to him and said \u201cI\u2019m pregnant with God\u2019s child.\u201d But Joseph, even in his human weakness, didn\u2019t run away. He questioned, he wrestled, he grappled with it. But once the angel appeared to him, he had faith, and he trusted in God\u2019s plan, and there was no longer any hesitation in his heart. Why? Because he too was in right relationship with Christ. He too was talking to Him, in prayer with Him, in discernment with Him. So he knew that when the angel appeared to him in the dream, he knew it was of God. And so he trusted in His plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our life, when we say yes, God is most often inviting us to something that is already within our capacity. He\u2019s inviting us to see our lives as sacred. He is inviting us to see our roles as divinely ordained. Think about how profoundly Mary\u2019s \u201cYes\u201d changed her life. She still had to do all the things of a mother. She still had to get on a donkey while pregnant and go to Bethlehem to even have the baby in a cave. But she did it, and she did it because she loved God, and she knew that God would get them there safely, and she trusted that He would work it all out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is God asking you to do? What is He asking you to say yes to? How is He stretching you this Advent season? Are you listening? Are you in prayer, in discernment, in right relationship with him? Are you being still, and listening for that still, small voice speaking directly to your heart? Are you caught up in what you think you can\u2019t do, because there\u2019s a lack of trust between you and God? If that\u2019s the case, look to Mary, look to our Blessed Mother, look to the example of her \u201cYes,\u201d and her through her \u201cYes\u201d the ordinary became extraordinary. The inconsequential became sacred. Because that\u2019s what He\u2019s asking of you in your life. Each one of us has a mission that no other individual can do but us. And the only way we know what that mission is, is to pray, have faith, and trust in God\u2019s plan for our lives. The only way we will ever accomplish that mission is <a href=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/marys-fiat-saying-yes-to-god-advent-2020\/\">to say yes to God<\/a> every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Mother Theresa said, \u201cWhen we say yes in the small things, then we are more prepared when the harder things come.\u201d So say yes today, my friends. God is there waiting for you to enter into relationship with Him. He knows you, He loves you, He wants only the very best for you, for those you love, for those you care for as well. But in order to know who He is, we need to sit down and chat a while. We need to be in prayer. And by being in prayer, we learn who God is, and who we are in God. And then we learn to believe, believe in Him and all that He can do. And in turn we trust His plan for our lives, even though we have no idea how it\u2019s all going to work out. It\u2019s the grand adventure, isn\u2019t it? So say yes, as Mary said yes, fully, freely, and completely. And see what great Adventure God has in store for you. Let\u2019s end our time together today praying the prayer that our Lord taught us, shall we? The Our Father. Say it with me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Father<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pray that during this holy season of the Advent, you look to Mary\u2019s \u201cYes,\u201d to her \u201cFiat,\u201d to be a blueprint to your own yes for what God has in store for you in your everyday life. God bless you my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">About Mary Lenaburg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:20% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"310\" height=\"382\" src=\"http:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mary-l-headshot-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1269 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mary-l-headshot-1.png 310w, https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mary-l-headshot-1-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/praymoreretreat.org\/speaker-mary-lenaburg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mary Lenaburg<\/a><\/strong> is a writer, speaker, wife and mother sharing her witness and testimony about God\u2019s Redeeming love.
