Prayer
Lord, fill us with the wonder of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the obedience of St. Joseph, the song and the joy of the angels, the eagerness and gladness of the shepherds, the determination and the worship of the Magi, and the peace of the infant Jesus in the Manger. Amen
4th Sunday of Advent Year C
“Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” Luke 1:45
Reflections by Father Paul Beukes OMI
As we walk through the remaining days of Advent, the two biblical persons held before us in our readings at Mass are John the Baptist and Mary. Mary’s humility brought heaven to earth and earth to heaven. Mary was also a woman of deep joy because she became the habitation of happiness, the first living tabernacle of God. She overflows with Jesus and imparts joy to us all. We sometimes call her, among her many other wonderful titles, the “cause of our Joy”-that is because she bore the One who is its source, Jesus Christ.
