O LORD of hosts, look down from heaven and see;

the festive season, we need some
peace and quiet and time to reflect.
Mary was caught up in the excitement
of being pregnant, and wonderment at
what the angel had told her. She went
as quickly as she could to visit Elizabeth. Perhaps she needed a bit of
“head space” to reflect on everything
that was happening. And then we have
this precious moment when Elizabeth
greets her, and describes how the
child in her womb leapt for joy. Like
Elizabeth, we await the arrival of Jesus
with joy. Like Mary, we are filled with
wonder.
As we count down to Christmas, we
may need a little time out. Make a little space to pray and reflect today.
Wrap up warm and head out for a
walk, visit your local Church in the quiet
of the afternoon, or take a few
moments to yourself at home to get
away from the noise.

Aprende acerca de nuestra fe, habla con otros acerca de
nuestras creencias. Siempre hay algo más que descubrir
sobre nuestra fe.
