Ml.3,1-4 23-24 Ps.24 Lk.1,57-66 23^rd December Advent “The time came for Elizabeth to have her son and she gave birth to a son, and when her neighbours and relations heard that the Lord had lavished on her a faithful love, they shared her joy.” The Beauty of a beginning with its promise and its reasons for rejoicing - this we can see in the Gospel passage of the birth of John the Baptist. It is fitting that we give thanks and feel this feeing of gratitude.This joy is one (…)

Ct.2,8-14 Ps.32 Lk.1,39-45 Advent 21^st December “Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the him country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah's house and greeted Elizabeth.” We are living in hard times and can see many failures around us; in work places we hear about projects having to be abandoned due to a lack of funding. Even amongst Christians the atmosphere has turned into something hard to accept, churches are shut because old structures (…)

Jr.23,5-8 Ps.71 Mt.1, 18-24 18^th December Advent “This is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph.” It is fitting that we allow ourselves to be instructed by witnesses of the Gospel with all the loyalty of our intelligence, so as to try to understand God's initiative. The Word that wells up from within us, deeper than our conscience, is of an admirable light that joins us in our experience when God leads us in his Love. Joseph is in a state (…)

Gen. 49,2.8-10 Ps.71 Mt.1,1-17 17^th December Advent “Roll of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac…” Jesus, by calling himself the Son of man, hid many things right from the start. He did not declare everywhere and in all places in a clear manner that he was equal to his Father.For some time he wanted to keep the truth about the mystery of his birth as a secret, through a behaviour that was full of wisdom, and he did this for (…)

For the Mighty has done marvels for me, and Holy is His name.” His mercy extends from age to age to those who fear Him." The Magnificent is the song of the victory of Love that comes from God. Could God find anyone (…)
