If all the characters in the Nativity story are part of us, the story begins to take on new meaning and depth.  We are innocent as lambs, wise as the Magi - and we enter the mystery.  

Just as Mary awaited the birth of the Christ Child, so do we patiently await the fulfillment of Divine Ideas in our lives.  Along the way, we might find unexpected companions and certain reassurances that all is well!
