When the Angel Gabriel called out to Mary, she responded, “I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.”
Lord, we hear You calling our name, and entrusting us with the task of building your Kingdom, here on earth.
May we, at St. André Bessette Parish, respond with our resounding “yes”, to build your kingdom; brick-by-brick with you as Chief Cornerstone and Master Builder.
Amen.
