Mother Church gifts us with such beautiful Scripture readings all throughout the Advent season. She invites us in and retells the stories of our past so that we can rejoice in our present time and remain in joyful hope for the future. In the same way that Jesus came to us as our Infant King, he will return to make all things new. What joyful news! When you think of Christ’s second coming, does Christmas joy stir in you? Let’s pray to cooperate with the Holy Spirit of God the way our Lady did at the Annunciation. Let us leap for joy in our hearts the way John the Baptist did in the womb of St. Elizabeth. Let us eagerly anticipate the second coming of Christ the way St. Joseph anticipated his birth in that stable over 2000 years ago.
