Fourth Sunday of advent Reflec on: The angel announces to Mary, You shall bear a son whose name will be Emmanuel, which means, God is with us. With Mary, we are called to be Christ bearers. With her we wonder, How can this be? As Christmas draws near, let us open our hearts in trust to the power of the Holy Spirit who comes upon us. Let us join Mary in saying, Be it done unto me according to your will. Light all four candles. Scripture: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus...Blessed is she who trusted that the Lord s word to her would be fulfilled (Luke 1:42,45). Prayer: Jesus, you are the light of the world. Yet you were born in the darkness of night, in a cold stable with only the animals to warm you. Let the light of your love shine on us so we can see you today in all the helpless children, in all who have no home. Teach us how to love you in them. Response: Come, Lord Jesus!
