Here we are, Christmas Day. How wondrous. Nothing compares!
We have been waiting and preparing for the birth of the Christ Child, and His arrival changes us and changes our world, if we let it.
During this Advent season we have had some time to pray and reflect. In the early days, we were called to quiet our lives and ready our hearts to be in the presence of God’s love. In the first Advent Reflection, we met the Lynch family who lived Advent through their extraordinary love and devotion, even after losing their two daughters, Alexandra and Sheila, who went home to God just 14 months apart. Their story reminded us that angels do exist, and Advent helps us find them.
Guided by grace, the readings for the second week of Advent shared the prophetic faith that John the Baptist embodied. In the second Advent Reflection we were reminded that our faith is contagious. We met Harold Eckman, a Jewish-American World War II Army veteran, whose willingness to feed the souls of some displaced refugees in post-war Czechoslovakia mirrored the gospel. Like John the Baptist and Harold, we can all be messengers, pointing others to God...
