Hello, family, and welcome to Day 21 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena! I'm your host Maritza Mendez, thank you so much for being here with us. If this is your first time joining, welcome to this beautiful family of prayer.
Today is a special day in the Church—it’s the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord, the moment when the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, and she said her humble and faithful "Yes" to God’s plan. That “yes” changed everything.
Mary didn’t have all the answers. She didn’t know how it would all unfold. But she trusted God, and she gave her whole heart to His will. That same invitation is extended to us every single day—to say yes to God, even when we don’t feel ready, even when the path ahead is unclear.
Sometimes, saying yes means letting go of control. It means trusting that God’s plan is better than ours, and allowing Him to work in our lives through our surrender.
So today, as we reflect on Mary’s “yes,” let’s ask ourselves: What is God asking me to say yes to? Is there something I’m holding back out of fear or doubt?
Let’s pray for the grace to respond with the same trust and courage as our Blessed Mother.
