More wisdom from Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, OCD

Mary’s great Yes included and encompassed all our small Yeses. Our Yes would hardly have any meaning if Mary’s Yes had not been there first. Her Yes anticipated and contains all the Yeses that would come after her. She did as a godparent does at baptism who responds to all the questions in the name of the child. But the original Yes must then be confirmed and owned in the child’s life, in our lives.
