Advent with Mary

Today we remember Mary’s advent: the message of the angel followed by nine months of waiting for her child to be born. We have only five days to finalise our preparations for Christmas. Could we spend these days with Mary? Might she teach us to remember that Jesus lives in each one of us? That he wishes to be born again through all our words and actions and decisions as Christians? Mary Mother of the Lord teach us to wait for Christmas as you did.
