Gospel Reflections

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.’

Look around you this week to recognize someone making what the world might see as a small step forward …

‘What is God showing me and wanting me to attend to in my life?’

Be alert for things that just ‘happen’ to you – what ‘stance’ will you take?

This week, consider the things you ask for in prayer.

‘… let’s try to stop from time to time and consider why we do what we do? Is it to gain favor of others, to gain the favor of God?’

Do we often take time to ponder the love God has for us and the commitment that this love invites?

Consider what it is you can do to build up the reign of God and encourage those who are on this journey of faith

Pray for guidance and you will find where you are needed the most
