Luke 1:5-25Before we ever reach Bethlehem, the Christmas story begins with two people who thought their season of hope had passed. In today’s episode of A Franciscan Heart in the World, we look at Zechariah and Elizabeth — how Godmeets them in silence, disappointment, and longing — and how their storyreminds us that grace often starts in the places we overlook. Join me as Advent invites us to trust the quiet beginnings of God.
