Submission to Our Lord would require that we re-align our lives according to His plan. Our Mother Mary had to adjust to the demands of the role God gave her to be Mother to Jesus. Likewise, being a Christian means we have to align our lives according to the norms and values that Jesus has set for us. We have to be properly aligned under God’s authority, His Word and His plan. Submission to God means saying to Him on a daily basis, “not my will but your will be done.” It is saying with full conviction and determination that God will prevail in our lives despite everything that can befall us. It’s not our dreams, not our wants, not our plans but God’s plan that should prevail.
Adults: When have you followed the example of Mary and said, “Let it be done to me as you say?”
Children: Is there something hard you need to do this week? What might make it easier?
