Our "yes" this year will be different from the one we uttered last year.

In our lives, we must renew our choice again and again, in many ways. Our decision this year, our "yes," will be different from the one we spoke last year – as we change, so does our engagement in our way of life. However, whenever we say another conscious "yes" to the Lord, we become more and more who we are called to be.

(Mary David Totah, OSB /1957–2017/, Joy in God)
