Yes, I Knew!

Through the pages of this compelling book, we journey alongside Mary, witnessing her unyielding devotion to the child she knew was destined for greatness. We come to understand that her "yes" to God's plan was not a momentary decision but an enduring commitment, anchored in her deep understanding of the scriptures and her unwavering trust in God's providence. As the chapters unfold, we encounter Mary's unwavering support and love for Jesus as He embarked on His earthly ministry. We witness her standing steadfastly at the foot of the cross, enduring immeasurable pain as her beloved son bore the weight of the world's sins. Mary's love transcended the boundaries of motherhood; it encompassed the entire human race, for she understood that Jesus came not only for her but for all of humanity, offering redemption and salvation to those who believed in Him. In these reflections, we learn that Mary's journey was intertwined with the journey of Jesus, each playing a vital role in God's divine plan of salvation. Her life was marked by unwavering faith, sacrifice, and a profound sense of purpose that continually guided her footsteps. As we conclude this transformative journey, our love for Mary deepens, and we see her not just as the gentle mother of Jesus but as an exemplar of faith, devotion and trust. Her "yes" echoes through the ages, inspiring us to embrace our own callings with courage and trust, knowing that it all comes at a cost, just as she did. In the poignant lyrics of "Mary, Did You Know?" and the revelations within these pages, we find a renewed sense of awe and gratitude for the profound love of Jesus and the tender love of Mary. May this journey enrich our Advent experience and draw us closer to the heart of the Christmas story, where love, hope, and redemption intersect in the person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Savior of humanity.
