The fourth candle of Advent is the Candle of Love.
It's light is meant to remind us of the love that God
has for us.
Jesus shows us God's perfect love. He is God's love
in human form. The bible says that God so loved the
world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever
believes in him should not perish, but have eternal
life.
During these last days before Christmas, the Church reminds us that Jesus’ coming is the fulfillment of God’s promises, not only to Israel but to the whole human race as well
Remember that all human history changed with these events, but outwardly nothing seemed to change. Joseph and Mary got married; Joseph continued to work in his carpentry shop; Mary kept house. We, too, have our ordinary day-to-day tasks to perform. But let us not miss the miracle of Jesus’ coming or all the miracles going on around us every day
On this last Sunday of Advent, we quietly reflect on the mystery. We rest in awe, in wonder, at how our God entered our world and came to be with us. We pause to receive the gift offered us: that the Spirit of God will open up our lives and that Jesus will really come into our hearts.
May we have watchful hope today, believing what the Lord promises us. Let us pray today, that we might be God's servants, that we might be instruments of God's love for our families and all we serve this week
Go for a ride tonight and view all the colorful Christmas lights. See them as if you have never viewed such wonder before. Allow the lights to shine in your soul and give back to God any pain or hurt you harbor in your heart
