Synopsis

Join Mary's proclamation this Advent as you let your soul sing the Magnificat with her. Six weeks of daily Advent and Christmas meditations guide you through topics found in Mary's story including Watching and Waiting, Preparing the Way, Proclaiming the Good News, Be Not Afraid, Being and Belonging, and God is With Us. Walk with Mary as you prepare your heart and mind and perhaps ready yourself to respond to Jesus with the same humble, gracious yes, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word."
