Let It Be

In the final installment of Witnesses to Wonder, we explore Mary’s extraordinary faith and her willingness to say, “Let it be.” Through her story, we’ll see how God "rhymes" through the songs of Miriam, Hannah, and Mary, singing the song he has always sung about his coming King. Like Mary, God is inviting us to prepare our hearts for Christ to be born in us.

Warm-Up: 

Think about a time when you were asked to take on something big or unexpected—maybe something you didn’t feel prepared for. How did you respond? What helped you say yes, or what held you back?

God Rhymes

We are Mary

“You were made more spacious than the heavens….

for God cannot be contained by the whole universe,

and yet He chose to be contained in your womb for the sake of our salvation.”
