Dive into this Lectio Divina of the incarnation with a twist.  You will get to know Mary's fiat on an intimate level with Christ Himself walking alongside you.  This meditation is a powerful tool to use when you are discouraged or ready to throw in the towel.  By reminding ourselves of our own humanity and how that nature is directly related to the fact that we are indeed created in Christ's image, we can crawl out of the quicksand of self pity and into our God given purpose.
