Scripture Reflection

 

Who do we seek in these troubled times?

The wise men or magi followed a star as they sought the “newborn king.” What “lights” are we able to follow in order to encounter Christ in our day and generation? How might we be lights to those around us?

What makes our families holy?

What does it mean to prepare a place for God to dwell?

The Holy Spirit inspires us in many ways. This is a cause to rejoice. God is with us.

In order to experience the joy of Christmas we must prepare a path to experience the graces that God will give us.

The Lord will certainly look after his sheep, tending to them as the gentle good shepherd. And yet, God will also justly judge His sheep and hold them accountable.

We become a gift to God as we develop and use our endowments, and are to build up the kingdom of heaven in our time and circumstances.

In great love, Jesus is cautioning us to equip ourselves for eternal life. We do not know when his footsteps will be near but in watchfulness, we will be waiting to great him.

What are you now and what are you becoming?
