“May it be done to me according to your word.” If there’s a “key” to the Kingdom of God, it
might very well be that phrase: May it be done to me, Lord, according to your
word. But I don’t know if it’s so much a
key to the Kingdom, as it is a key to our own heart and soul. It’s a key that opens us up to receive the
Kingdom, to receive the coming of the Lord.
Our “O Antiphon” for today is “O Key of David, opening the
gates of God’s eternal Kingdom: come and free the prisoners of darkness!” And that “key” has already been handed to us,
just as it was given to St. Mary in her immaculate conception: that ability to
say from our heart: “May it be done to me according to your word. Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done on earth
and it is in heaven.” It’s a key we each
have in our pocket.
We have the key to the Kingdom within us. We just have to use it, and then let the
Kingdom unfold as it will—in God’s time, and in his way.
