Let it be to me according to your word

Mary is the quintessential disciple: ‘I am the servant of the Lord,’ she says, ‘let it be to me according to your word.’ While her attitude receives no congratulation in a culture that prizes independence above all else, it represents the posture to be adopted by all disciples of Jesus.
