The Virgin Mary is the prime example of a human who was entirely docile to the Holy Spirit, ready and willing to do whatever was necessary. The word docile means, at heart, an openness to being taught.

when she was carrying your Son,
to visit Elizabeth.Grant that, always docile to the voice of the Spirit,

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.Amen.
And today we celebrate...
