REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 29 DECEMBER 2012

 

SIMEON

The suffering of Jesus and indicators of His mission were revealed at this time. Now we know the truth it is also revealed to us in everyday life. See the rising tide of love in our lives and the ebb of evil. Let us participate in that mission today.

REFLECTION ON THE VISITATION OF MARY TO HER COUSIN ELIZABETH

The image of Mary and Elizabeth celebrating their pregnancies brings us what we want in our own lives. A flood of hope for the future. The joy of creation and the love of these mothers to be give us the hope we need for the future. Their faith and anticipation is really “what the world needs now”. As they hold each other in this most sacred of sacred moments, we can be the vessel that God wants us to be. Mary’s faith and obedience made her a chosen one to carry the child Jesus into our lives to save us. Jesus, after His sacrifice and mission wants us to hold Him inside us.

To have that same joy on the faces of Mary and Elizabeth as they shared the news the day of the Visitation. Feel Him with you right now. In each moment of the day, in each action, in each word and deed. Savor each breadth as you pass through this day.
