“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.” (Luke 1:30-31)

Mary’s “yes” changed history. Her courage reminds us that faith often begins with trust, not certainty. God’s grace calls us to opening our hearts, even when the path seems unclear. Today, let us welcome Christ into our hearts with humility and hope, confident that God’s plan is always good. Amen.
