Gospel Reflections

God can place gifts in our open, receptive hands.

You and Jesus may have a wonderful time laughing together.

Be alert today to questions people ask you, to needs you see or hear about.

In those moments the Voice declares, “This is my beloved, hear him.”

Focus this week on the star, the one thing necessary: “Thy will be done.”

‘Focus on the act of listening. Focus on what you are hearing.’

‘We all have good things happening in and around our daily lives.’

‘There is no line. God is not choosing some of us while discarding others.’

Go as far back in memory as you are able to find a personal Advent story or experience

”This week, spend some time reflecting as you gaze upon a creche. Shake off world anxieties.’

‘ … our world desperately needs people willing to stand for truth.’

‘ … find and choose somewhere to make a positive difference calming or holding back the storms others might be facing.’
