Fourth Sunday of Advent & Christmas


My Companions, pray with me:
Lord, help us to open our hearts like Mary: "Let it be done according to your will." Please take away our fear and our worry and help us to live by the divine grace that you have placed in our hearts. Forgive us for failing to live in your love and for not passing that on to others.
     Please touch and heal all the people on our prayer lists. Thank you for all the gifts you give us constantly.
     May all who have gone before us live in your perpetual light.
     Amen

Some Commentary for prayer or study: The Sunday Website

My comments and an invitation for your comments: When I use may imagination to try to experience the fear and the blessings of Mary when the Angel addressed her I both quiver and rejoice. When I imagine Joseph waking after the Angel reassured him of Mary's sanctity and his mission I'm excited about the opportunities I have to participate in the Wonderful World.
