    [catolicos_respondem] A LITTLE OF OUR FAITH (052) 4th SUNDAY OF ADVENT - C Sound !

     

     

              A  LITTLE OF OUR FAITH

     

                                               (052)-BLESSED ARE YOU AMONG WOMEN !

     

            Today –December 23 - We celebrate the 4th SUNDAY OF  ADVENT - C.

     

              This is the today's Gospel :

     

               Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zachariah and greeted Elizabeth.

              When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped in her womb.

              And Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry : "Blessed are you  among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

              And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me ?

              For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy.

              And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord".

             

               In today's Gospel, Elizabeth sees and celebrates the presence of the Lord.

              It sounds so simple, really, but this recognition and rejoicing elude many of us

              The Lord is present, right here in our midst, and yet we miss him.

              Maybe we are focused on all that needs doing during this busy time, or perhaps we only notice what is wrong  with our lives or what  is wrong with others.

              Where have we fixed our eyes ?

              What do we see ?

              Chances are we are finding exactly what we have focused upon.

              Although Elizabeth is a secondary character in the nativity story, she is a primary example of wise awareness.

              When she realizes Mary is expecting, she could question it.

              She  could envy her young kingswoman or focus on all the reasons why she herself would  have been the "better choice' – she was, after all, a devoted wife and a mature woman with many years of longing for matherhood.

              Chosen to be  John's  mother, she could have asked  herself why not the mother of Jesus.

              Yet none  of these thoughts enter her mind.

              So full of the Holy Spirit's wisdom, so aware of the Lord's presence, and so open to his will -  Elizabeth simply rejoices

              May we, too, live in that wise awareness, that recognition and rejoicing.

              May we see and celebrate the Lord's real presence in our daily lives, beginning with today's eucharist.

                Responsorial Psalm :

                Restore us, O God, let your face shine, that we may be saved  !

                                        ****

      "Jesus, I want to dedicate this  season to  seeing you more fully. Come, Lord, and make me ready to greet you when you come again !""

     

    With joy and peace, we love you.

              Maria & John

    Immaculata mea

    In sobole Evam ad Mariam Virginem Matrem elegit Deus Filium suum. Gratia plena, optimi est a primo instanti suae conceptionis, redemptionis, ab omni originalis culpae labe praeservata ab omni peccato personali toto vita manebat.

    'A Lógica da Criação'


    Jesus, oculto na Hóstia, é tudo para mim




    “Se não fosse a Santa Comunhão, eu estaria caindo continuamente. A única coisa que me sustenta é a Santa Comunhão. Dela tiro forças, nela está o meu vigor. Tenho medo da vida, nos dias em que não recebo a Santa Comunhão. Tenho medo de mim mesma. Jesus, oculto na Hóstia, é tudo para mim. Do Sacrário tiro força, vigor, coragem e luz. Aí busco alívio nos momentos de aflição. Eu não saberia dar glória a Deus, se não tivesse a Eucaristia no meu coração.”



    (Diário de Santa Faustina, n. 1037)
