Sometimes our human limitations frustrate us. Sometimes they discourage us. Sometimes they anger us. Ultimately, however, despite how we may feel about them moment by moment, our human limitations are gifts that point us toward God’s limitlessness.

Mary’s posture of treasuring and pondering is the most appropriate one we can take in the midst of this Advent season. Therefore, it is important for us to pause in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and to join Mary in treasuring and pondering.
