As we begin the nine-day novena leading to Christmas, let us journey through these sacred days with the Blessed Virgin Mary, who carried the Savior of the world in her womb. 
Each day invites us to reflect on Mary’s unwavering faith, deep humility, and boundless love as she prepared to welcome Jesus into the world. 
Each day invites us to reflect on Mary’s unwavering faith, deep humility, and boundless love as she prepared to welcome Jesus into the world. Mary’s heart was a sanctuary of hope as she awaited the birth of Emmanuel—God with us. 
Amid uncertainty and challenges, she trusted in God’s plan and found strength in His promises. Her journey to Bethlehem was not only a physical one but also a spiritual path of surrender, joy, and profound anticipation.
