(said) In his text, the priest thanked his mentor, Father Mario Boretti; Father Francesco Bamonte, vice president of the IAE; and Father Gabriele Amorth, a famous exorcist of the Diocese of Rome and co-founder of the IAE.

Ultimately, her response was, “Behold I am the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word” (Lk. 1:26-38). This is known as her fiat, Latin for “let it be.”... This spoken word is the best known fiat of her life, as very few of Mary’s words are recorded in the Gospels.
