Today’s Readings

Reflect: Today begins our last week of Advent and our seasonal journey of deeper reflection on solidarity, hope and spiritual transformation. In five days, we joyously welcome the baby Jesus. We may look upon his birth, perhaps, as a symbol of peaceful reconciliation amongst nations–a confirmation of humanity’s goodwill. This week, we are grateful for the universal depth of Jesus’ love for us. Let us share that love with each other today.

Pray: Ever-loving God, grant me the peace and humility to welcome your Son, Jesus. Amen.
