There’s no other time during the year that is more stressful than Advent. The four Sundays leading up to Christmas is a time of joyful anticipation, but also great angst if we allow ourselves to get caught up in the secular traditions of shopping, decorating and planning. The to do list seems never ending. The Blessed Mother Mary on the other hand had the greatest challenges. She did not have the conveniences of our society. She had no idea how she was going to deliver the baby, where and when? It’s a wonder how she “pondered” so much in her heart during those weeks before the birth of Jesus. How did she keep her soul at peace as she waited to be the Mother of a King!
