01/01/25 The Power of "Yes"

Homily from the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

When we know God's will, we must respond with "yes".

There are truly horrible and troubling things that can happen in each one of our lives. And yet, at every moment, we have the opportunity to respond in faith and love. Our response of trust can be summed up in one word: "Yes".
