Psalm 40 (39)

Psalm 40 is a highly appropriate choice for this feast day. Its response reminds of us Mary’s fiat: her willingness to do as God asked. We are not likely to receive an angelic visit to tell us of God’s plans for us but we should always seek to discover them through prayer, reflection and listening carefully to all those we encounter.
