Advent 3: Who holds the future

December 16, 2018
Third Sunday of Advent
Mary has arguably the most important role in Holy Scripture after Jesus -- to bear him in her womb, birth him, nurse him and raise him.  Yet she is given precious little data about her assignment.  In life we also are not given much information about the road ahead.  In fact, we often only have as much information as Mary, namely:  We do not know what the future holds, but only the one who holds the future.  (Based on Gabriel's visit to Mary, Luke 1).
