"The virgin shall conceive and bear a son," (Mt. 1:23)
The end of Advent, the beginning of the Christmas season that approaches, is a time to reflect how is my relationship with God has progressed during the year that is about to end. How we can prepare ourselves?
Mary is our Advent Model. Mary is truly the model of how we should be living Advent in preparing for Christ’s arrival. God, the Father prepared Her from the first moment of her conception to be the worthy Mother of His Son.
Let us enter into Mary’s response of faith, which is a guide for us along our own pilgrimage of faith. Let us listen to the beat of Mary’s contemplative heart, so that our Christmas may be as fruitful as that first Christmas.
Today, we ask Mary Our Most Beloved Mother to help us and show us how to find the way to celebrate a better Christmas so that our lives can be lived honestly and generously, so that we can turn away from sin and turn our hearts towards Jesus. Mary will help us to get closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.
