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.

For Reflection: Read the above quote from St. John Paul II.  Why is Mary the instrument that links Jesus with humanity? How does she continue to link us to Christ? To what extent does this encourage my devotion to her and to Jesus?
