To Forgive or Not to Forgive?

CHRISTMAS 2013

DECEMBER 24 & 25

"For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.”  Is. 9:5

Reflection: The veil is lifted and, like a spy swiftly entering enemy territory, Jesus Christ enters the fallen world. He comes not in the public, regal pomp so many had assumed he would, but in the lowliest of places as an utterly helpless and innocent human child. The God of the Universe is the Lord of Humility.

Prayer: God our Father, You do not keep your greatest treasure for Yourself, but You give him to us forever. May we never be found anywhere but in his arms. Amen.

FOURTH MONDAY OF ADVENT

 DECEMBER 23

“‘Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.’” Lk. 2:9-14

Reflection: The shepherds live on the fringe of Israelite society, but it doesn’t matter. The heavens explode with splendor as countless angels proclaim the glorious news - He is here! The time has finally come!

Prayer: God our Father, fill us with the awe of the shepherds standing in the blinding light of heaven coming to earth. May we come and adore him at all times. Amen.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

DECEMBER 22

"Behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.’” Matt. 2:1-2

Reflection: The Kings arrive as witnesses to the wonderful truth – the Savior comes into the world not merely for the Children of Israel, but for all men, women and children throughout the world. He is coming to restore all of humanity to God.

Prayer: God our Father, the Wise Men come from the distant corners of the Persian Empire to worship the newborn king. Help us to make the effort of travelling far from our own comfort to present ourselves to the Messiah. Amen.
