FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT
The readings for this final week of the Advent season speak to us of God’s love and tenderness for all of humanity. We hear of God as a shepherd guiding and protecting the “sheep” and providing for all their needs. God’s greatest gift to Israel and to us comes through a young girl who carries in her body the Savior of us all.
Mary travels some difficult territory to be present to Elizabeth and to John, who is the first to recognize the significance of the baby Mary is carrying. For us this is also a time of reconnecting. We may have to travel difficult territory in our minds and hearts (and sometimes geographically) to be present to family and friends. Let us be brave like Mary and not pass up an opportunity to act on this fourth Sunday of Advent theme….LOVE.
