Prayer in union with Mary
“The rosary, reclaimed in its full meaning,
goes to the very heart of Christian life; it offers a familiar yet fruitful
spiritual and educational opportunity for personal contemplation, the formation
of the People of God, and the new evangelization.”
John Paul II
The Rosary of the Virgin Mary [3]
The entire spirituality of FIAT is based on prayer in union with the Blessed
Virgin Mary. “Full of grace”, Mary was fully receptive to welcoming God’s love,
and was entirely given over to the permanent praise of “God, my Saviour”, as she
sings in her “Magnificat”.
The whole Church, spread throughout the world, takes that prayer and makes it
her own. The FIAT Association does likewise. Its prayer flows into that of the
Church in all its expressions, notably in its liturgical prayer and sacramental
life.
But it so happens that the Association has also received – in order to make it
known – a very specific inheritance: the FIAT rosary, to which the FIAT prayer
and the FIAT medal were added later.
