Preparing for Christmasਨਮੂਨਾ

Today we are reminded of the deep care and intentionality with which God formed each of us. Just as Mary was troubled and confused by the angel's message, we too may be perplexed by the mysteries of God’s plan in our lives. Yet, in these moments, we can find comfort in knowing that our Creator knows us intimately and has crafted our lives with purpose. God’s love for us is not random; it is woven together with precision and grace, for He sees us fully and loves us completely, just as He did with Mary. As we await the birth of Christ, let us reflect on the wonder of being fearfully and wonderfully made by the One who has always known us.

It will begin broadly and then focus deeply on Mary’s experience, highlighting how her humility, faith, and openness paved the way for Christ’s birth. Through her example, we are encouraged to cultivate a heart ready to receive the Savior, embracing His love and presence in our lives.
