Advent Moment: Short Reflection Saturday 13th December #advent #faith #hope
A very good morning! Its Kirk Jacob once again.We begin: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.Reflecting on today’s Gospel St. Matthew Chapter 17: verse 9a, I am drawn to the phrase ‘As they were coming down the mountain”.So, what does it mean for you and me to being on a mountain and then coming down from it?I see ‘being on the mountain’ as peak experiences that leave a deep mark on our souls. Surprisingly, it can even happen at Christmas when we are left on a real high with some life experiences. Maybe you could have been meeting up with family or friend after a very long time or just sitting at a beautiful setting and soaking in God’s creation. For me, it was my childhood Christmas carol singing in India when we went from house to house, sometimes the whole night when we collected funds for the SVP. Remembering memories can bring us inner healing.Nevertheless, we feel the pain when we need to come down from the mountain and experience the ordinariness of life. It can feel empty and boring with attempting to get back to our normal routines of life. Yes, there is a time and season for everything.We pray:Lord, thank you for being a blessing in my life and for providing me with joy filled memories when I least expected them. May I be a person of Joyful Hope to those I encounter each day. Amen. Thank you for joining us today.
