Reflection: Rejoice...

Rejoice in the Lord always; I shall say it again, rejoice. Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:4-5 

Today let us ponder the word JOY, a gift that comes in knowing the Presence of God. On this third Sunday of Advent, we pause and rejoice because we know that the Lord is near. We are coming close to the day of the birth of our Savior. Ask Mary how to teach you how to love Jesus the way she does. Ask her to give you the Joy of knowing Jesus in your heart.

Diary of Saint Faustina 40 Most Holy Virgin Mary has taught me how to love God interiorly and also how to carry out His Holy Will in all things. O Mary, you are joy, because through you, God descended to earth and into my heart.

Jesus is our Joy.

Jesus 
Open 
Yes

Today let us take time to gaze at the Baby Jesus. Sit with Him and ponder His precious Face. He came as a baby, pure, vulnerable and little. He came to touch our hearts. Open your heart now and invite the Baby Jesus in. His arms are outstretched to you. Say Yes to the Baby Jesus, reach out and touch His little hands and hold Him close to your heart. He has something special to give you for Christmas. As you gaze at Him, let Him love you.

What will you give the Baby Jesus for Christmas? Will you give Him your heart?

Joy to the World, the Lord is come, let earth receive her King. Let every heart, prepare Him room. And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and heaven and nature sing.
