When God saw the world falling to ruin because of fear, he immediately acted to call it back to himself with love. He
invited it by grace, preserved it by his love and embraced it with compassion.
- Peter Chrysologus, “Sermon”
(Still does! Let yourself be so embraced by this Love and compassion these final days of Advent) |

1:67-79
R. For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
The favors of the LORD I will sing forever;
through all generations my mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.
For you have said, “My kindness is established forever”;
in heaven you have confirmed your faithfulness.
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to David my servant:
Forever will I confirm your posterity
and establish your throne for all generations.”
“He shall say of me, ‘You are my father,
my God, the rock, my savior.’
Forever I will maintain my kindness toward him,
and my covenant with him stands firm.”
Reflection on the Scriptures |
If you receive the Light, together we can bring the Light and Peace to the
world.
As we prepare to celebrate the Incarnation this season of Christmas, let us consider how we are being called to be the Light of Christ for others, to receive the Mercy of Christ in our hearts and take it to those who dwell in
darkness.
Where is the Light of Christ needed? Around our holiday tables? The parking lot of the mall? On the streets of our cities? In our hospitals? On our borders? Beyond our borders? Where are we
being called to be a voice crying out to the darkness?

Revelations of Divine Love - by Julian of Norwich
Second Revelation, Chapter 10
“God willeth to be seen and to be sought: to be abided and to be
trusted”
We know in our Faith, and believe by the teaching and preaching of Holy Church, that the blessed Trinity made Mankind [49] to His image and to His likeness. In the same manner-wise we know that when man fell so deep and so wretchedly by sin, there was none other help to restore man but through Him that made man. And He that made man for love, by the same love He would restore man to
the same bliss, and overpassing; and like as we were like-made to the Trinity in our first making, our Maker would that we should be like Jesus Christ, Our Saviour, in heaven without end, by the virtue of our again-making.
