A beautiful thing.

Mary, the mother of God of course is the final woman in my advent series, 'The women in Jesus' genealogy.' This is a re-release of this episode from the the first series 'The 12 women of the gospel'. Without Mary's 'yes', our Lord would not be born to us. So I invite you again to listen to the story of Mary this advent as we prepare our hearts for Christ to be born in anew in us. Enjoy and happy Christmas!
