He has saved us

December 3, 2014 8:03 am

“Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the LORD for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!” (Is 25: 9)

Everyday, but especially during the Advent, our eyes are focused on Him: “the Lord for whom we look.” He is our Savior and Redeemer; He is our hope and the One, who takes care of all our needs. He cures all our weaknesses and knows when we have nothing to eat. His heart is always moved with pity.

“Behold, the Lord, comes to save his people; blessed are those prepared to meet him.” (Gospel Acclamation)

Knowledge of the LORD

December 2, 2014 9:25 am

“…the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD, as water covers the sea.” (Is 11: 9)

Without the Bible, without God’s words and without Church we are not able to know our God. He revealed Himself to us. He even became a man to be known more. What we can do before “the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD” is to invite His word every day into my life, to listen to the Church’s teaching and to let Him fill me with the knowledge of Him and with love.

“Behold, our Lord shall come with power; he will enlighten the eyes of his servants.” (Gospel Acclamation)

Let us climb the Lord’s mountain

December 1, 2014 7:30 am

“Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” (Is 2: 3)

To see God’s ways and to “walk in his paths,” we need to “climb the Lord’s mountain.” The right perspective is from His position not from ours. How often we are overwhelmed by daily concerns; we can easily forget where our destination is. He comes everyday with His word, “instructs us in his ways,” and empowers us by His presence and His wisdom.

“Hear the word of the Lord, O nations; declare it to the distant lands: Behold, our Savior will come; you need no longer fear.” (Entrance Antiphon)
