Welcome back to our Catholic reflection for Wednesday of the Third Week of Advent. Today’s meditation, inspired by St. Alphonsus Liguori, challenges us to surrender completely to God’s will in all areas of life—external circumstances, personal struggles, and our abilities.

In this Advent season, we reflect on how Mary’s Fiat ("Let it be done to me according to thy word") perfectly embodies detachment and trust in God. Can we open our hands, surrender our plans, and receive the blessings God desires to give us?

What You’ll Learn:
🙏 How attachment to things can hinder God’s blessings.
🙏 Practical advice from St. Alphonsus on living with surrender.
🙏 A personal story illustrating how trust and detachment can transform our spiritual life.

✨ Scripture & Saintly Wisdom:
"The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." (Job 1:21)
St. Alphonsus teaches that when we resist God’s will, we close ourselves off to His grace.

📖 Reflection Highlights:
Learn to accept external circumstances, like weather and trials, with gratitude.
Unite your struggles and abilities to God’s will.
Find inspiration in Mary’s "Yes" as the model of radical surrender.
