Advent

After having an incredible encounter with the Angel Gabriel, Mary went with haste to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, and to share her story. We, too, often get an intuition that God is stirring within and we need to respond with our whole being!

What does authority have to do with Advent joy and hope, anyway? When one rightly uses authority, they raise up others; they magnify the other’s gifts, they see God present in them. What’s your “authority” story?

The power of God is as present today as it was centuries ago. What remarkable things have you seen today? What is your response?

In this season of Advent let us deepen our call to become preachers of the Gospel, the Good News, no matter what our profession is. We are all needed and called to care for one another.

In what ways are you open to the presence of holiness in your life?
