Today's Advent 4 homily reflected on the Annunciation & Magnificat and traced Mary's arc in the Gospels. I found it so poignant to consider how the same Mary who offers her iconic "yes" to God later comes with Jesus' brothers to take Him home, because they all think He's lost His mind.
"I can welcome Jesus as Advent closes and the light of Christmas dawns while perhaps also wondering at what it means to do so, bearing faith alongside disappointments and confusion mixed in with my underlying "yes.""
Bearing faith alongside disappointments and confusion.... thank you for reminding us we are not alone, Marissa.
