Week 31 - The Journey Advent week 3
""Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means "God is with us." When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home." Matthew 1:23-24
"God is with us." From the interior of a dream God speaks and His intentions are made real. From a mother's womb, the Son of God moves, "God is with us." The reality of God is real, His presence is real, in our midst, this is the joy of Christmas, God being with us.
These stories in the Bible were a reality for those who literally experienced them and for us, in our daily journey into the heart of God, we as well can experience God with us. We can see the movement of God, we can experience prayers being answered in supernatural ways at times. Miracles are not only for the times of the Bible, they are a reality for these times. God is with us! He never leaves us and in our daily prayer time He listens, He teaches and He responds. "God is with us." Contemplate your own journey and see the reality of God in your own life, that dream that you have been doubting maybe a reality.
What is God saying to me? I can do nothing without Your response.
Dear Father, You are with us because we chose to be with You. The longing in our hearts is the reality of You drawing us closer to the beatific-ate vision. Thank You Father for the answer to prayers, for the intervention of the Blessed Mother in our lives. Help us recognize Your call in our lives and may we not waste an opportunity to respond, these become answered prayers and are never lost. Bless this day Father, keep us safe from all evils, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Success, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
