Theotokos
Exemplar of Trust

Mary, daughter of Joachim and Anna, was presented to the temple when she was a small child. She grew up dedicated to serving God. Mary was called by God to bear His Son. She did not know how this would take place, but trusted God. God provided Joseph to take care of her and Jesus.

We, too, are called to trust God. We are to trust God for our needs so that we are not preoccupied with them. We are then free to be a vessel for God to use. Trust allows us to give of our time, our talent, and our tithe, that others may be saved.
