Commentary
Only a month till Christmas and Our Lady reminds us to prepare our hearts for the coming of the King of Peace. How can we prepare our hearts? How can we allow Jesus to enter into us? It is through prayer. So again, Our Lady calls us to prayer How patient she is!
"Little children, pray."
"If taken seriously, prayer involves suffering, striving and longing for God." (T. Renaud) In the midst of all the suffering in the world today, prayer exposes us to the darkness and evil in the world, but it also gives us strength to live with courage and joy through the dark.
It leads us to know and trust God, which is the only way to peace in our world. That's what Jesus came to bring to us-peace, flowing from trust, which comes when we realize how much God loves us.
If our hearts are filled iwth love and trust, we will be able to be a light of hope in the darness of this faithless reign in our hearts and in the world.
Our Lady tell us, "Don't give up hope. Remember I am with you always, and so is Jesus." He is right in our hearts, if we open them to Him.
Have a "MARY" Christmas! To bring Jesus more fully into our lives, we have no better way than that used by Christ Himself. GO TO MARY AND GO WITH CONFIDENCE.
by Fr. Gabriel M. Weber, O.S.M.
