We have journeyed with Gabriel, Joseph & the Shepherds to consider how they felt/reacted to the message of Jesus' birth and how they remained calm and bright. Today, we conclude by thinking of Mary, the mother of Jesus and how she remained Calm & Bright at the most momentous event, the birth of God's Son. I hope you have enjoyed these worships and have not only found moments to be calm and bright but will continue to do so! Please, leave a comment to share with everyone how the worship has impacted you.
