Love today’s Gospel reading… I listen to the Rosary Podcast of Bishop Barron each morning. I especially love Joyful Mysteries Visitation.

Here a recent sermon that goes deeper into the Ego-Drama and Theo-Drama I was moved to share.

Gospel Luke 1:39-45

Mary set out in those days
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth. 
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Most blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy. 
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”

Formed: Eager Anticipation

In the Song of Songs, the woman expresses her ardent longing for her beloved. This passage serves as an icon of the Church, the Bride of Christ, who eagerly anticipates the coming of her Bridegroom, Jesus. As we remember Jesus’ Incarnation and anticipate his Second Coming, in prayer today seek to grow in your longing and desire for Christ’s return.

Today’s Action Item: Seek to long for God in a deeper way.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Thank You for all the ways You bring me closer to You. Help me, mine and theirs to know our role in the Theo-drama and learn to walk towards fulfillment of that role.
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Apostles (Nicene) Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Lords Prayer

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

O my Jesus

O my Jesus, have mercy on us. Forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Take all souls into heaven, especially, those most in need of thy mercy.
Amen.

Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, make me holy. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, fill me with love. Water from Christ’s side, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. Good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds, hide me. Never let me be parted from you. From the evil enemy, protect me. At the hour of my death, call me. And tell me to come to you. That with your saints I may praise you. Through all eternity.
Amen.

Angelus

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Reading I Isaiah 7:10-14

The LORD spoke to Ahaz:
Ask for a sign from the Lord, your God;
 let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky!
But Ahaz answered,
 “I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!” 
Then Isaiah said:
 Listen, O house of David! 
Is it not enough for you to weary men,
 must you also weary my God? 
Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign:
 the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
 and shall name him Emmanuel.

Gospel Luke 1:26-38

In the sixth month,
the angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said
and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her,
“Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever,
and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel,
“How can this be,
since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her in reply,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a son in her old age,
and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.”
Then the angel departed from her.

Formed: Mary and Daughter Zion

Today we hear the angel Gabriel greet Mary at the Annunciation. Much of this greeting recalls a prophecy about Daughter Zion. Zion was the place of the Temple—the place God dwelt. Now, in Mary, there is a new dwelling place for God brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit in her womb. Let us grow in devotion to this chosen daughter and mother in this season where we recall her fulfillment of prophecy.
https://watch.formed.org/videos/daily-reflections-december-20-2021

Today’s Action Item: Have a deep faith, seeing the prophecies about Mary fulfilled.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Thank You for loving us enough. For fulfilling Your prophecy through Mary, our Holy and Blessed Mother. For giving us Your Son. To fulfill Your love for us, and to make right the way for us to have a relationship with You.

With just five days till Christmas help us keep our eyes on Jesus and our hearts full of the joy He brings to the world.
This is my prayer. For me, and mine, and theirs.
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Reading I Micah 5:1-4a
Thus says the LORD:
 You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah
 too small to be among the clans of Judah,
 from you shall come forth for me
 one who is to be ruler in Israel;
 whose origin is from of old,
 from ancient times.
 Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time
 when she who is to give birth has borne,
 and the rest of his kindred shall return
 to the children of Israel.
 He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock
 by the strength of the LORD,
 in the majestic name of the LORD, his God;
 and they shall remain, for now his greatness
 shall reach to the ends of the earth;
 he shall be peace.

Reading II Hebrews 10:5-10

Brothers and sisters:
When Christ came into the world, he said:
 “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
 but a body you prepared for me;
 in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight.
 Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll,
 behold, I come to do your will, O God.’“
First he says, “Sacrifices and offerings,
holocausts and sin offerings, 
you neither desired nor delighted in.”
These are offered according to the law.
Then he says, :Behold, I come to do your will.”
He takes away the first to establish the second.
By this “will,” we have been consecrated 
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Gospel Luke 1:39-45

Mary set out
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah, 
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb, 
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, 
cried out in a loud voice and said, 
“Blessed are you among women, 
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me, 
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, 
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”

Reflection

Formed: Humble, Selfless, Faithful

On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, the readings show us that God exalts the humble and the selfless. By recognizing our lowliness and living in God’s love, we become great. This is seen perfectly in Mary, our Queen Mother. Her identity is firmly rooted in God, and her life is animated by a selfless, compassionate love.
https://watch.formed.org/videos/daily-reflections-december-19-2021

Today’s Action Item: Have the humility, faith, and charity of our Blessed Mother

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Beautiful readings and reflection today… powerful is the message and example our Blessed Mother in showing and teaching us how to follow and grow closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying without ceasing for the breath of Heaven to pour over and fill me, mine and theirs with what we need to seek and follow Your will Lord God. Humbling ourselves before You in selfless obedience. Walking with eyes of faith, and the charity of our Holy Mother.
Convict us in our moments of pride and selfishness. Continue to teach us in Your ways.
This is my prayer for me, mine and theirs.
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.

Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Today’s verse…

“Joseph, son of David,

do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. 

For it is through the Holy Spirit

that this child has been conceived in her. 

She will bear a son
and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:20-21

Reading I Jeremiah 23:5-8

Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD,
 when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David;
 As king he shall reign and govern wisely,
 he shall do what is just and right in the land.
 In his days Judah shall be saved,
 Israel shall dwell in security.
 This is the name they give him:
 “The LORD our justice.”
Therefore, the days will come, says the LORD,
when they shall no longer say, “As the LORD lives,
who brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt”;
but rather, "As the LORD lives,
who brought the descendants of the house of Israel
up from the land of the north”– 
and from all the lands to which I banished them;
they shall again live on their own land.

Gospel Matthew 1:18-25

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. 
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit. 
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly. 
Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 
“Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. 
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her. 
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.” 
All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
 and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means “God is with us.” 
When Joseph awoke,
he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home. 
He had no relations with her until she bore a son,
and he named him Jesus.

Formed: The Kingship of Christ

In today’s readings we hear the prophecy about a coming king. With the coming of the Christ child at Christmas, we celebrate the fulfillment of this prophecy. However, it is not only the Christmas story that is the fulfillment of this prophecy, but also the Second Coming of Christ at the end of time. As we look forward to Christmas, we also look forward to the Second Coming and the kingship of Christ that will be brought about in a new way.
https://watch.formed.org/videos/daily-reflections-december-18-2021

Today’s Action Item: Increase your desire for the kingship of Jesus to come in the Second Coming.

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

You’re in the midst of a love story—when we lost our way, and forgot our purpose, and rejected Him, we ended up broken. But Love didn’t leave us abandoned, for God so loved you, that He gave His only Son. This is what God thinks of you!
Chris Stefanick
from his "I AM" program

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
More and more as I read and listen to the readings, like today. I see similarities between the Israelites in the Old Testament and Christain’s today. We have fallen victim to our desires and pleasures, we have ignored and turned away from You. And while we were chasing false dreams we have allowed the evil one to use those willing to sell their souls to him for wealth and power to gain control of our government, and now they seek to control us by removing You from our life’s. So now just as so many of us are awakening to the error of our ways and wanting a relationship with You through Jesus our Lord and Savior. We are realizing just how close we are to losing our freedoms and right to follow and worship You our God. So I pray and cry out…
Come Lord Jesus we long for You. Come Lord Jesus we seek Your face. Come Lord Jesus fill this place.
Come Lord Jesus have Your way.
Help us stand up for You, give us the wisdom, courage and strength needed to do Your will by increasing our desire for Your kingship through Jesus’s Second Coming.
Not our will, but Yours Lord God.

Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Apostles (Nicene) Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Lords Prayer

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

O my Jesus

O my Jesus, have mercy on us. Forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Take all souls into heaven, especially, those most in need of thy mercy.
Amen.

Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen)

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Amen.

Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, make me holy. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, fill me with love. Water from Christ’s side, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. Good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds, hide me. Never let me be parted from you. From the evil enemy, protect me. At the hour of my death, call me. And tell me to come to you. That with your saints I may praise you. Through all eternity.
Amen.

Angelus

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to thy word.
Hail Mary,…
V. And the Word was made Flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary,…
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
LET US PRAY

Amen.

Reading I Genesis 49:2, 8-10

Jacob called his sons and said to them:
 “Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob,
 listen to Israel, your father.
“You, Judah, shall your brothers praise
 –your hand on the neck of your enemies;
 the sons of your father shall bow down to you.
 Judah, like a lion’s whelp,
 you have grown up on prey, my son.
 He crouches like a lion recumbent,
 the king of beasts–who would dare rouse him?
 The scepter shall never depart from Judah,
 or the mace from between his legs,
 While tribute is brought to him,
 and he receives the people’s homage.”

Gospel Matthew 1:1-17

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,
the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Abraham became the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. 
Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah,
whose mother was Tamar. 
Perez became the father of Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab. 
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Salmon the father of Boaz,
whose mother was Rahab. 
Boaz became the father of Obed,
whose mother was Ruth. 
Obed became the father of Jesse,
Jesse the father of David the king.
David became the father of Solomon,
whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. 
Solomon became the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
Abijah the father of Asaph. 
Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat,
Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,
Joram the father of Uzziah. 
Uzziah became the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. 
Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amos,
Amos the father of Josiah.
Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers
at the time of the Babylonian exile.
After the Babylonian exile,
Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel,
Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. 
Abiud became the father of Eliakim,
Eliakim the father of Azor,
Azor the father of Zadok. 
Zadok became the father of Achim,
Achim the father of Eliud,
Eliud the father of Eleazar. 
Eleazar became the father of Matthan,
Matthan the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary. 
Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ.
Thus the total number of generations
from Abraham to David
is fourteen generations;
from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations;
from the Babylonian exile to the Christ,
fourteen generations.

Formed: Jacob’s Prophecy

Contained in today’s First Reading from Genesis 49 is a prophecy by the patriarch Jacob. Out of his twelve sons, he predicts that from the tribe of Judah will come a great king. Jesus, the Lion of Judah, is the true King who ushers in the Kingdom of God, fulfilling Jacob’s prophecy.
https://watch.formed.org/videos/daily-reflections-december-17-2021

Today’s Action Item: Have great faith and give thanks to Jesus for fulfilling this prophecy.

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

What is truth? Pilate was not alone in dismissing this question as unanswerable and irrelevant for his purposes. Today too, in political argument and in discussion of the foundations of law, it is generally experienced as disturbing. Yet if man lives without truth, life passes him by; ultimately he surrenders the field to whoever is the strongest.
Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI)
from Faith and Politics

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Thank You for fulfilling the prophecy of Jacob. For loving us enough. For Your Word, the nourishes our faith and guides our way. For walking with us.

My prayer today is that this Christmas we would all come to understand and grow in our faith. Knowing what and why we believe. And commit to One Walk with You.
So I pray for me, mine and theirs. And all those feeling they’re missing something. That their life isn’t complete. May they come to know the completeness in Jesus Christ, and One Walk with Jesus.
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Gospel Luke 7:24-30

When the messengers of John the Baptist had left,
Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. 
“What did you go out to the desert to see a reed swayed by the wind? 
Then what did you go out to see? 
Someone dressed in fine garments? 
Those who dress luxuriously and live sumptuously
are found in royal palaces. 
Then what did you go out to see? 
A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 
This is the one about whom Scripture says:
Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
 he will prepare your way before you.
I tell you,
among those born of women, no one is greater than John;
yet the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
(All the people who listened, including the tax collectors,
who were baptized with the baptism of John,
acknowledged the righteousness of God;
but the Pharisees and scholars of the law,
who were not baptized by him,
rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

Reflection

Formed: Pointing to Jesus

Once more, today’s Gospel stresses the importance of John the Baptist. Contrasted to Herod, John is presented as a prophet, and more than that. None greater than John, his whole life and ministry points toward Jesus. Strive to be like John, living a life that is totally directed to Jesus.
https://watch.formed.org/videos/daily-reflections-december-16-2021

Today’s Action Item: Do not look up to the rich and the powerful for your direction and guidance.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
Today’s Gospel reading is beautiful, insightful and inspiring. I always read John words and what Jesus says about John in the Bible with such intensity. For I seek You, Jesus above all. To know and love You above all. And John is that voice that calls out to me… out of the darkness of this world. To always lead me to You. To encourage me to keep seeking You , know and love You more each day, above all.
Thank You for walking with me, for hearing my prayers for me, mine and theirs. For protecting us and blessing us. For keeping our ears tuned to Your voice.
Not our will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Today’s verse…

“Go and tell John what you have seen and heard:
 the blind regain their sight,
the lame walk,
 lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
 the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.
Luke 7:22

Reading I Isaiah 45:6c-8, 18, 21c-25

I am the LORD, there is no other;
 I form the light, and create the darkness,
I make well-being and create woe;
 I, the LORD, do all these things.
Let justice descend, O heavens, like dew from above,
 like gentle rain let the skies drop it down.
Let the earth open and salvation bud forth;
 let justice also spring up!
 I, the LORD, have created this.
For thus says the LORD,
The creator of the heavens,
 who is God,
The designer and maker of the earth
 who established it,
Not creating it to be a waste,
 but designing it be lived in:
I am the LORD, and there is no other.
Who announced this from the beginning
 and foretold it from of old?
Was it not I, the LORD,
 besides whom there is no other God?
 There is no just and saving God but me.
Turn to me and be safe,
 all you ends of the earth,
 for I am God; there is no other!
By myself I swear,
 uttering my just decree
 and my unalterable word:
To me every knee shall bend;
 by me every tongue shall swear,
Saying, “Only in the LORD
 are just deeds and power.
Before him in shame shall come
 all who vent their anger against him.
In the LORD shall be the vindication and the glory
 of all the descendants of Israel.”

Gospel Luke 7:18b-23

At that time,
John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to ask,
“Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” 
When the men came to the Lord, they said,
“John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask,
‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?’”
At that time Jesus cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits;
he also granted sight to many who were blind. 
And Jesus said to them in reply,
“Go and tell John what you have seen and heard:
the blind regain their sight,
the lame walk,
lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. 
And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”

Reflection

Formed: He Humbled Himself

In Isaiah’s writings, God’s grandeur and transcendence is displayed. From this perspective, we see how incredible the Incarnation is: the God of the universe was made flesh in the womb of Mary and born in a humble town. As we approach the celebration of this birth, let us heed John the Baptist’s call to repent, give alms, and pray.

Today’s Action Item: Have faith that God is the Creator and has foretold and fulfilled his promises.

Daily Catholic Wisdom…

Perfect purity brings one closer to God.

My prayer…

Dear God, my Abba Father, Lord Jesus my Savior, Holy Spirit within me.
You are my ‘light’. You have shown me the errors of my ways, and the wonders and truth of Yours. You light my way, and teach me in Yours.
Thank You for everything for all I have is because of You, and I have all I need.

Though I stumble and fall, I know You are with me. Teaching me what I need to learn and know to show Your presence in my life. This I know.
So I pray without ceasing for me, mine and theirs. That we will learn and grow in You together. That You will protect and bless us. That You would expand our territory for Your glory.
Not my will, but Yours Lord God.
Jesus, Mary, I love You, save souls.
In Jesus name I pray.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Apostles (Nicene) Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
