Come Lord Jesus, Come Emmanuel, come and dispel the darkness, we want to live and love!
What shall we do?
∗ Maybe a few more moments of prayer during the day.
∗ Maybe a few more moments with family around the manger scene.
∗ Maybe a few more moments decorating the Christmas tree (planted on earth, stretching up to heaven).
∗ Maybe joining in with a bit more devotion in accompanying Mary and Joseph during the Posadas.
∗ Maybe letting go of “the way it’s always been”.
∗ Maybe daring to believe that God’s hope actually has something better for us, and is coming.
∗ Maybe …
Just maybe, come Christmas, we will be filled with unbound joy and the world will be made new again. His birth was the beginning; the consummation of God’s promise is waiting for us.
