Advent Moment: Short Reflection Monday 15th December #advent
Dear friends, welcome to today's Advent Moment - our Advent Daily Reflection for Monday December 15th on Matthew 21:23-27 by Veronica Conlon.
In today’s gospel the chief priests and elders question Jesus’ authority when they pose the question: ‘By what authority are you doing all these things, and who gave you this authority?’ One of the cornerstones of our faith is that Jesus is the Son of God and is himself God and there is no greater authority than this.
We are now in the third week of Advent, only a week and a bit away from the birth of Jesus, the Son of God, when we will celebrate the gift of his presence in our world. In this season of hope we can bring ourselves to God with all our imperfections and ask to be made spiritually healthy in preparation for the great feast of Christmas.
Throughout the week I will share with you some prayers of hope written by Joyce Rupp.
God of hope, come! Enter into every human heart that cries out for a glimpse of your love, for a sign of your welcoming presence, for a taste of your happiness. Be the one who calms the restless and gentles the ache of the human journey. Amen.
