Fiat
Mary, the immaculate one.
Humble
Caring
Gentle
Chosen by God
Filled with inner strength
speaks faith filled
FIAT
Joseph,
a just and gentle man,
engaged to Mary,
found her to be with child.
Perplexed
Doubts
Questions
How can this be?
What am I to do?
What will people think?
The answer – a dream!
God’s angel speaks.
Have no fear.
Remain faithful.
Accept responsibility.
Take Mary for your wife.
Name the child
Jesus,
the one who comes to save.
With God all things are possible.
Joseph trusts the message,
accepts the challenge.
FIAT
Do I dare to dream?
Am I alert to the message;
to God’s voice?
What limits my dream;
my call to seek god;
to live life to the fullest?
Accept the miracle.
EMMANUEL
God with us!
All things are possible.
Have no fear.
FIAT
This is a wonderful poem. It is difficult for us to say “let it be done” when God asks of us. Pray that we have the grace, as Mary and Joseph did, to recognize God’s will for us. And no murmuring!
