Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:
1 John 3:22--4:6
Psalm 2:7-8,10-12
Matthew 4:12-17,23-25
A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture:
Today's holy scripture readings impart a particular sense of joy and encouragement. They remind us that "a people living in darkness has seen a great light." The people referred to, are none other then us! Remember that!
Meditate on it!
How quickly times of peace and joy seem to evaporate and be replaced with almost oppressive duties and concerns. We must not become overpowered by such feelings. We must remember the promise that was fulfilled in the Christmas Cave and with it the covenant of salvation and eternal joy.
Put your trust in the Lord. Ponder His holy Word and let the spirit of Christmas live in your heart -- always!
"For there is in you One greater than there is in the world.
We belong to God...."
- Donna Raye Nelson, ocds
