🌟A Heart of Surrender

Look & Listen: Advent Day 1

The Annunciation (Fra Angelico, 1437-1446)

Reflection: Look at Mary’s quiet posture. As Gabriel announces she will bear the Son of God, she looks unsure. But she’s not freaking out. We see her deep faith and openness to God’s divine plan. During Advent, like Mary, we too are invited to say “yes” to God, trusting in his grace and wisdom, even when the path is unclear. As we await Christmas, may her example inspire us to embrace God’s will with faith and humility, allowing Christ to be born within us this season.
