On day 15 of this Advent journey, we reflect on the visit of Mary to Elizabeth, as described in Luke 1. In this passage, we see the joy and affirmation that Elizabeth offers to Mary, declaring, "Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her." Just as Mary trusted in God’s promise and embraced her calling, we are reminded that blessings come when we, too, trust God to fulfill His promises in our lives. As we prepare for the birth of Jesus, let us remember that our faith in God's faithfulness is the source of true blessing.
