TODAY’S WORD…

.

How beautiful on the mountains

are the feet of those who bring good news,

who proclaim peace,

who bring good tidings,

who proclaim salvation.

.

– Isaiah 52:7 (NIV)

.

.

QUOTE… for reflection…

.

“Nothing is more beautiful, urgent and important

than freely offering to men and women, in turn, what we ourselves have freely received from God!

Nothing can dispense or relieve us from this burdensome but fascinating commitment.

.

While the joy of Christmas…fills us with hope,

it spurs us at the same time to proclaim to everyone God’s presence in our midst.

.

[…] May every Christian and every community

feel the joy of sharing with others the Good News

that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His Only Son…that the world might be saved through Him’.

.

This is the authentic meaning of Christmas, which we must rediscover and live intensely.”

.

– Pope Benedict XVI

.

.

PRAYER…

.

Lord Jesus, I have decided – I want to share my joy in You with others!
