    * To understand that through God’s call and her


    response, Mary is the model of prayer
    * To consider how my life should reflect this
    model of prayer

    Why discuss Mary? Ano kaya ang nasa pagkatao ni
    Maria, na dapat nating Makita? Anu ano kayang
    pagpapahalaga at birtud ang meron si Maria?

    *ONE
    * I know that Mary’s Fiat means that she said yes
    to God

    yes to God
    * I can express my own understanding of how my

    Voice from the Church
    “The most Blessed Virgin Mary was,
    from the first moment of her
    conception, by a singular grace and
    privilege of almighty God and by
    virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ,
    Savior of the human race,
    preserved immune from all stain of
    original sin” CCC135

    As Catholics we believe that Mary is the


    Immaculate Conception which means that she
    was born free from original sin.
    “I am the Handmaid of the Lord.

    Let what you have said be done unto me.”


    Mary’s response “let it be” means Fiat in Latin.
    Mary’s Fiat is holy because it is through her act of
    submission, her willingness to accept God’s plan, that the
    Son of God makes His entrance into human history.

    1. Imagine what it was like to travel on
    foot while 9 months pregnant. Think
    what it might have been like to give
    birth with no nurses or doctors. What
    questions do you think she could have
    been asking God?

    2. By recalling your learning from S1-3


    and what we have covered today
    make a list of at least six of Mary’s
    characteristics

    3. What qualities of this godly woman


    would you like to have? What steps do
    you need to take to begin to develop
    them? Be specific. Have short-term
    and long-term goals
    Mary’s “yes” allowed her relationship with God to deepen. This was not a
    one-off, she would continually repeat this through out her life.

    You will be given a handout


    Read the passage John 2:1-11

    • Highlight on the passage an


    example where Mary intercedes

    • Annotate around the text what


    you think this passage shows
    Mary has been called ‘our sure way to
    Jesus’, and she will help us reach
    heaven by her intercession.

    When praying to Mary, we ask that


    she brings our prayers to and prays on
    our behalf before her Son

    Worship is reserved for God alone.


    Rather, we venerate Mary (honour
    her) above all because of her special
    place in our salvation.

    She is a model of faithfulness and the


    greatest of all saints.

    Mary’s “Fiat” teaches us
    what prayer really is

    “this is Christian prayer: to


    be wholly God's, because he
    is wholly ours”
    CCC2617

    God’s call and her response, that she said yes to God
