Theme: Advent is a time of waiting and preparing for the coming of the Savior. Mary, the Mother of God, waits patiently for the birth of her Son and Savior, Jesus Christ to Whom she has given her life.

Grace: I pray for the grace of Marian surrender and anticipation of the Savior during this holy Advent and Christmas season.

“Surrender to God is the only absolute power with which creature is endowed.”                 ~Gertrud von le Fort

For Reflection: Why do you think surrender to God is “the only absolute power” we have? In another place, Gertrud von le Fort says that when we surrender to God, we share in His own power. In my own life, how have I experienced the power that comes through surrender to God?
