FIAT The Surrender of Our Lady
"Behold The Handmaid of the Lord, Let it be Done Unto Me According to your Word."
Catholic T-shirt Club - October Theme FIAT
Words which were spoken so long ago, yet they are repeated daily among clergy and practicing Catholics all over the world at least three times a day. The Angelus is a beautiful prayer to be daily devoted to. At it's core, we experience the moment of FIAT, the surrender of Our Lady's will to God's Will. The moment that she was presented with a life altering choice and she choose God's will entirely over her own. Over her comforts, over her expectations, even choosing God's Will over her own body.
It was through this continued surrender that Our Lady would, with Christ, eventually make the greatest sacrifice of all time: sacrificing her own Son on the cross.
Imagine the difficulty of this sacrifice. We are each called to sacrifice our own desires up to God, and sometimes these desires are holy, and sometimes they are not. But Mary had to sacrifice a future she hoped for, She had to give up the presence of her own Son, God Himself, the greatest Good that has ever walked this earth. She had to surrender her wishes, wants, and desire to keep her son close to her; and give that up to the Father. Sacrificing even her own desires at the Cross of Christ.
