Just a few thoughts
·
Yesterday’s reflections referred to the birth of Christ, the Light of the
world and also as the Saviour of the world. I like the idea of the “Light”
rather than the “Saviour”.
Jesus has cast a bright light on humanity and given so many lessons to help us
understand what the gift of life should be about.
My thinking is that Jesus has given us the messages and examples, but we have
free will and therefore we must make the effort to gain the insights like the
blind people and so “save” ourselves, or justify ourselves.
What do you think?

Reflection
ü During Advent, the wreath entwines
both the completion of our life-long journey; along with the final unveiling,
or the apocalypse, of Christ. - Rev Dr Richard Leonard

Advent finds us on a bridge, says Australian Provincial Fr Brian McCoy
SJ, crossing to a new phase of our lives. These bridges offer us new
opportunities as we walk together on them.
