#21 Advent Reflection 12-20-2025 Inspire
We encounter Mary as she encounters God through the Angel Gabriel. Her yes, is a real yes that changes her life (for the better) with all the challenges and struggles of a life lived in the generosity of love. It is a time to remember, as we get closer to Christmas, within the trials of life we discover the greatest blessings; the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in our hearts.
#20 Advent Reflection 12-19-2025 How to respond
The mystery of new life is beyond understanding. God’s plan of life is a call to be open to this great mystery. We don’t know where God will lead us but we do know our response is to be one of hope and joy with a determination to be before God in the intentional gift of sharing our lives with Him and the holy people are invited to be part of this day.
#18 Advent Reflection 12-17-2025 Connected to the great story.
We are connected to the great story of salvation. Our story is an important part of the story of salvation as our life and the lives of all people are important and filled with the reality of holiness (sainthood). Let us pray for all those who have fallen away from the Church. My we all be reunited in Christ.
#17 Advent Reflection 12-16-2025 Today is the Day 17 Advent Reflection Today is the day!
Jesus reminds us that to do the will of God is a process of continual conversion. It is not what we say but what we do.and hopefully they match to the glory of God. What did I say “no” to when God called me to action…today make that “no” a “yes” and live your life fully in God.
Today on the 3rd Sunday in Advent we hear the word of God call us to wait and work patiently. Like a Farmer we are invited into a relationship of growing in faith. Planting and then waiting for the harvest only to begin again. This is how our faith expands…to prepare, harvest then begin again. To know God with deeper love.
