Week 30 - The Journey Advent week 3 Gaudete Sunday.
"Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away His judgments against you, He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You will fear disaster no more." Zephaniah 3:14-15
A mother's Joy. Can you imagine the Virgin Mary being with child, the Son of God. The emotions and feelings she was experiencing must have been amazing. As you read the above verses think about them from Mary's perspective. She knew that God was coming into the world, she knew why God was coming and the Joy she was feeling came with the knowledge of God and His mysteries.

"Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 12:6. As we prepare for the coming of Christ, Journey with Mary, see what she seen, know what she knows and like her be a faithful servant for the Father. Life isn't always filled with joy, we will suffer pains along the way but knowing that it is for God, know that real joy comes from serving Christ even in the tribulations of life.
Happy Gaudete Sunday, and the third week of Advent.
What is God saying to me? Knowing Scripture is knowing Me, living them is experiencing Me.
Dear Father, thank You for the blessing of the mother of Your Son, thank You for allowing us to experience a mother's joy, from seeing things from her perspective. Thank You Lord for being witness to the coming of Christ in those that are coming home, for being able to be part of that journey. Special prayers Lord for a friend that is on a journey, that will lead him home, You are merciful God and know the plights we each face in life. Bless this day Father, fill our hearts with the joy that Mary experienced and heal those in need of healing.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Protector of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
