Thought of the Day November 29, 2016

By 9:57 AM







The opening prayer from today’s Advent Mass will be the point of our reflection. “Look with favor, Lord God, on our petitions, and in our trials grant us your compassionate help, that, consoled by the presence of your Son, whose coming we now await, we may be tainted no longer by the corruption of former ways. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.” The questions to ask: How aware am I of the presence of Jesus and how consciously does the presence of Jesus in my life console me? Am I really awaiting his coming in the present moment and at the final moment? How attentive am I in uprooting sin in my life, so that his presence can take firmer root in me? Are these the pre-conditions to God hearing my petitions and granting me his compassionate help? Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Jesus said that we are to go to the ends of the world, proclaiming the Gospel of Salvation. Our recent Holy Fathers have urged us to use the social media to accomplish this task. This is just one attempt to respond to both calls. Join me in this effort.
