we are responding to this beautiful gift of love. Are we modeling love, jus-
tice, compassion, and mercy in our relationships within our family, our circle
of friends, our workplace, our community, our world? Do we allow the real-
ity of the Incarnation, of Jesus’ birth, to impact us in our everyday lives? Do
we live as though we really believe in the gift of love which God has given
us?
Over the next few weeks, let each of us be saturated with the message of
joy, hope and love of the Incarnation so that we can reflect the radiance of
God’s gift of love into the world around us.
Prayer
O God of Infinite Love, you
sent us your Son to bind us
to you with love, compas-
sion, justice and mercy. May
our hearts be softened by the
gift of your Son, may our
minds be open to under-
standing what Jesus came to
teach us, and may our ac-
tions in the world make us
beacons of love, compassion,
justice and mercy in all we
do.
We ask this through the gift
of love, which is your Son,
Jesus Christ.
Amen.
