When was the last time you truly slowed down? Not every journey moves in a straight line. Sometimes it leads through quiet, ordinary places like Nazareth. It’s there that Mary, a young girl living a simple life, responds to God’s invitation with faith and courage. This Advent, slow down, let go of the rush, and learn what it means to travel lightly as we stay open to whatever God might be asking of us. (Scripture: Luke 1:26-35)
