The Yes.

One quiet “yes” changed everything—and it still echoes in the choices we make today.

Annunciation of the Lord • March 25

There was no crowd, no stage, no build-up. Just a quiet moment, a young woman, and a message that would change everything.

The Annunciation of the Lord remembers the moment when the angel Gabriel came to Mary and told her she would bear Jesus, the Son of God. It was not forced or demanded. It was offered.

And her response was simple, but not easy: “Yes.”

That “yes” carried weight. It meant stepping into something unknown, trusting without seeing the full picture, and accepting a path that would change her life completely.

This is where it becomes real for us. We also receive moments like this—not as dramatic, not with angels—but in the choices we face every day. When doing what is right costs something, when staying honest feels harder than hiding, or when saying yes to something good makes us feel unready.

The Annunciation is not just a story from the past. It is a pattern. God invites, and we respond. Sometimes, the biggest changes begin in the quietest “yes.”

Live God’s Will, Find Peace • Wed.02.25.26

Peace grows when we choose what God wants in ordinary moments.

Peace is not just the absence of conflict.

It grows when we choose God’s will in small, ordinary moments.

Living what He asks of us now brings a steady light inside us.

Today, we pause at least once to pray for peace—first in our own heart, then for the world.

Based on the Word of Life, March 1984, by Chiara Lubich.

✝️ Prayer for Peace

Father, teach us to want what You want in each moment. Let Your will bring peace to our hearts and through us to others. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
