Week 32 - The Journey Advent Christmas Eve
"And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,". Luke 1:76
A Mother's Love. The much anticipated time is very close, only the day lays before us. I recall the excitement as a child knowing the awaited time was close. Do you recall those emotions and feelings? A Mother gave birth to her first born son, the Savior of the world, this moment literally defines time, BC vs AD
"And you, my child", what about Mary's other anticipated times, the spiritual birth of her son's and daughters. "and she gave birth to her firstborn son." Luke 2:7a. We are called to be children of God, no child can mature without a mother, no family is complete without a father or a mother. Mary Journey's through the centuries awaiting the birth of her children, the ones that will seek their father and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
Let's not forget the role Mother Mary plays in salvation history, she delivers amazing gifts literally. If we would only listen to the wisdom of God just like Jesus who listened to His mother. Merry Christmas, the time is here to celebrate the joys of Christian life, the reason that we live in hope. Watch your children and grandchildren, that same excitement is yours when Christ is within knowing God is coming again.
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, there is joy in my heart, there is anticipation in my soul and there is peace in my spirit. I have watched You and Your Holy Family bring about things that are meant to be. I am seeing families enjoying their time together, people slowing down to appreciate each other, to be at peace. Father, thank You for giving us Mary, a sons love always goes towards his mother, for when he gets in trouble, she knows how to talk to Father. Bless this morning Lord, bless this day and fill our hearts with Your Holy Spirit. Come Lord Jesus Come.
Mary, Virgin Mother Most Pure, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.
