The Lord wishes to come to our hearts through the Holy
Spirit. And for this miracle to happen, He always expects us to respond just
like the Virgin Mary did, in practice, in our everyday life. He ex- pects us
not only to say but also experience this for a whole lifetime: “Behold the
servant of the Lord; be it unto me according to your word.” More or less, every
man will find himself, as the Virgin Mary did, at a crucial moment, when he
will have to decide whether to say “yes” or “no” to God.
This is the story of our whole life: one way or an-
other, God’s grace hovers around us, trying to con- vince us to say “yes”. And
if we say “yes”, the Logos becomes flesh. Christ indeed comes into us, indeed
is carried in us, indeed takes us upon Himself, and this is how we become of
Christ and grow in the Lord.
