Be it unto me according to Thy Word

Look at the man who likes to have his own way. His soul is never at peace. He is always discontented--this is not right, that is not as it should be. But the man who is entirely given over to the will of God can pray with a pure mind. His soul loves the Lord, and he finds everything pleasant and agreeable.

Thus did the Most Holy Virgin submit herself to God: Behold the servant of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy word, - then the Lord’s words written in the Gospels by the Holy Spirit would live in our souls, and the whole world would be filled with the love of God and how beautiful would life be on earth. And although God’s words have been heard the length and breadth of the universe for so many centuries, people do not understand and will not accept them. But the man who lives according to God’s will, will be glorified in heaven and on earth.
