Time is near
This is such an exciting time in the Church, this advent time. We are waiting for the birth of Jesus in just a few short days, and as we wait, we are also filled with our own preparations for Christmas. "Our soul waits for the Lord" I can't wait and I am sure Mary could not either, as when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, Jesus leaped in her womb. A new baby is certainly a time of joy for one and all. In my family we have a new baby coming in December, we don't what it is but we are so happy and there is another one coming in February-a boy.
This is the time of year that we have a chance to reflect on all our happiness and joy and be thankful for all our blessings. Have you counted your blessings???
This gospel is also the beginning of our Hail Mary prayer, a very powerful prayer that is devoted to Mary. Mary accepts and believes in the Lord's promises to her. We also believe in the promises from the Lord and rejoice in his word.
Time is getting close as we wait for the Lord and we trust that he has come to save us. Be happy that the Lord will be here for us and any help you need. Rejoice for the future and renew your love for him at this time of year. How can you renew your love for the Lord at this time of year?
