Daily Reflections

Lately, however, I am drawn to sacred memories of the Incarnation that pull me deeper.

Beyond our wildest imagination, we deeply matter to God!

In making room for Jesus in our hearts, may we nurture the lives of our children, “for surely the hand of the Lord” is with them.

My eyes return to Mary waiting silently in the dark, desert cold. “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.”

Emmanuel means “God is With Us”, you and me, and this is our Hope and belief on our Path to the Manger.

The story of the Annunciation illustrates for us the attitude of heart we need to be fully prepared. 

"Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Do not be afraid to be holy." God’s truth is our comfort and strength.

Maybe the message for me (us) is to remember we all have an angel and a dream. 

Today’s scriptures remind us that to prepare for the coming of Christ we must look for Jesus where perhaps we least expect to find him.

Come, Lord Jesus. Fill every corner of our world with your self-emptying love. Amen.
