Weekly reflection
‘Advent with Our Mother’
In this second week of Advent, Holy Church invites us to walk with Our Lady in this journey to her Son in the crib. We remember:
* Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception where she was preserved from original sin to prepare her to bear the Son of God.
* Our Lady of Loreto and the wonder of the Holy Family living together in a humble house of faith, hope and love.
* Our Lady of Guadalupe and her desire for all to come to know and love her Son as revealed to St Juan Diego in Mexico.
In the midst of the business of the preparations for Christmas, it is easy to become overwhelmed and lose sight of the Lord. We can miss what is happening around us due to the stress and pressures. Anxiety can easily come in and we can perhaps find ourselves amid a loneliness whilst surrounded by and being with others. The Lord, however, never leaves us in these times and reminds us that he gave us his mother on the cross to be our mother too. She is always praying for us that we may come to share all the more in the life of her Son.
Let us then walk this week with Our Lady, praying for our needs and the needs of the world, sharing our love for her Son with those around us and treasuring all the things He gives us in our hearts.
With every blessing
Father Gary
