Join us on The Lenten Path as Mark reflects on trusting God through prayer, drawing inspiration from Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel. Faced with uncertainty, Mary surrendered completely, showing us that trust is not about having all the answers but believing in the One who does. Her simple yet profound words—“Let it be done to me according to your word”—invite us to embrace faith even when the path ahead is unclear.

Mark shares his personal journey of trust through the foster care and adoption process, an experience that required constant surrender to God’s plan. Just as Mary trusted, we too are called to place our fears and uncertainties in God’s hands. This Lent, let us not only bring our struggles to prayer but truly surrender them, trusting that nothing is impossible for God.
