In this meditation, Fr. Eric Nicolai helps us contemplate Mary’s unwavering dedication to God, exemplified in her Presentation in the Temple. From her youth, she was overshadowed by the power of God, prepared and preserved by grace to become the Mother of Our Redeemer. Drawing on Scripture and the Church’s history of devotion, Fr. Eric reveals how Mary’s fiat at the Annunciation was the fruit of a heart already dedicated and attentive to God’s will.
Listen now to reflect on:
• Mary’s lifelong dedication to God
• The Presentation of Mary as a sign of her total purity and consecration
• The meaning of Mary as the new Ark of the Covenant and dwelling place of God
• How the feast invites us to renew our own commitment to God’s will
• The example of Mary’s confidence and perseverance in her mission
