The Incarnation

The Word was made flesh. (St. John i. 14.)

God would not take flesh in Mary's womb without her consent. The angel, after giving his message, awaited her reply. No false humility prevented Mary from obeying the mandate; no self-consciousness made her shrink back. In words which are a model of obedience and prudence and forgetfulness of self, she accepted the divine maternity: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word.”

One thing only was present to Mary's mind when she spoke these words: the wish to do exactly what God desired of her. This is the secret of all true virtue — to make His will the motive and the guiding principle of every action we do. If we do this we shall soon be saints. God speaks to our soul by His inspirations, by the voice of our superiors or spiritual directors, and in other ways. Be attentive to the voice of God, and when you know His holy will, do it promptly, generously, and perseveringly.
