Fourth Sunday of Advent Gospel: Luke 1: 26-38

In this week’s Gospel, Mary expresses her faith in God with a resounding “YES”. Mary was not only the first Chris*an and Mother of the Lord, but she is also the Mother of the Church. During Advent *me we find spiritual reading, prayer and opportuni*es that allow us to grow closer to God. 1. Share a me when you found a chance to say “Yes” to God? 2. Is spiritual growth a part of your Advent? Share one thing that you added to your daily roune during Advent. 3. Can you think of someone to whom you can reach out to in their me of need this Advent?
