Tuesday of the First Week of Advent

The reprint permission for the Scriptures during the pandemic has expired. Until we can establish a new license, you will find the text of the day at the following link.
Take the Gospel to prayer:

Many jumping off points in today's text - so here are bullet points. Hopefully one will touch your heart and take you into deeper thought and prayer about your relationship with God.
  • "hidden from the wise" Do I overthink? Do I lock God into a pre-conceived box rather than seek to discover Him?
  • "childlike" Can I be open to God's messages to me? Can I trust that God is my wise and loving parent that will not deliver me into harm?
  • "blessed are the eyes that see" What are my vision problems?
  • Am I nearsighted and only able to see God if He gives me an obvious answer to my prayer right away?
  • Am I farsighted and only able to relate to God from a distance? Do I push God away rather than seek intimacy with Him?
  • Do I have cataracts and only seek God through a haze of crisis - do I only look to Him when I am in need?

Lord, help me to run to Your embrace with the enthusiasm of a child coming home.
