“You too need to see the entirety of your life as a mission. Try to do so by listening to God in prayer and recognizing the signs that he gives you. Always ask the Spirit what Jesus expects from you at every moment of your life and in every decision you must make, so as to discern its place in the mission you have received. Allow the Spirit to forge in you the personal mystery that can reflect Jesus Christ in today’s world.”
Pope Francis
Gaudete et Exsultate, 23
I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me, according to your word.
-Mary of Nazareth
