Mary responds to the message from the angel with a song full of praise, recognizing the greatness of God who is able to do what seems impossible. Like Mary, we are often asked to believe in things that challenge our understanding, whether it be God's promises or the extraordinary ways He works in our lives. Are there ways God may be calling us to trust Him for the impossible? As we prepare for the celebration of Christ's birth, may we open our hearts in faith, believing that God can make a way where there seems to be no way.
