Motto
Fiat Voluntas Tua (Thy Will Be Done)
These words, taken from the Lord’s Prayer (cf. Matthew 6.10), give expression to that disposition of heart, which is the foundation of Christian discipleship.Jesus Christ, the Son of God made flesh for our salvation, gave his fiat to the will of the Father when He came into the world (cf. Hebrews 10.7). Hence, the disciple of Jesus is called to give, in faith and obedience, his or her fiat to the divine plan of salvation in Christ and to all that the Father wills for its accomplishment, as did Mary, the mother of our Lord (cf. Luke 1.38).
