"Be it done unto me according
to thy word."
to thy word."
~ Mary's Fiat (Luke 1:38)
The Latin word "fiat" translates to "let it be done", which
recalls to Christians the world over, the
Lord’s Prayer, as well as the memorable response of the Blessed Virgin to the
angel Gabriel on the momentous
occasion of the Annunciation; simple,
yet sublime words, spoken by Mary
with total trust and submission the
Divine Will of God.
Inspired by Mary's example, the FIAT group strives to assist its members in
deepening their own faith experience
and growing in personal sanctification
through a healthy devotion to Our
Lady and, in particular, by imitating her surrender to God's Will in the daily circumstances
of life
– good and bad
– and regardless
of individual vocations.
Ultimately, FIAT’s aim is to have its
members ignite the fire of Faith and Love within each person's heart (hence our logo) so as to blossom into dedicated
apostles of this present time; inspired individuals, who, by
bringing their
Faith
Into
Action
Today,
witness the Gospel message and
mystical presence of Jesus Christ to
others in their respective homes,
neighborhoods, parishes, and beyond!
In this manner, we also contribute to the long-awaited fulfillment of the coming of God’s kingdom upon the earth, as taught to us by the Lord, Himself:
"… Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven…"
on earth as it is in Heaven…"
