Weekly Reflection - December 20th Fourth Sunday of Advent
December19,2015
What gift can we bring to the Lord? Christmas is a season of gift-giving to those we care for; but, the stores cannot provide a gift for the Lord. It may seem that we could promise some good deed or say specific prayers as our gift. Today’s reading from Hebrews reminds us that is it not sacrifices and offerings that the Lord asks from us; but, hearts open to do his will. What is God’s will? Jesus has told us that we are to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. So how do we do that? Talk is not enough. Our love must be revealed in our actions. Pray for the grace to know and do God’s will.
