Lectio
|
"Jesus said to the crowds:
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you
rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of
heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden light." Mt 11:28-30
|
Meditatio
|
It is not uncommon to see people burdened and stressed
over Christmas. So much remaining to do, so little time. Christmas is really
a time for lifting burdens, not adding to them. The wisdom of Christmas is to
understand that Jesus comes to accomplish for us and in us that which we
cannot do – inner peace and consultation of heart. The more that this uncreated
grace fills us, the better we will be able to make for ourselves a to-do list
in keeping with the true Spirit of Christmas.

Oratio
|
O Lord, may your Spirit be the inspiration that
motivates me during these blessed days of Advent. As my understanding of
your love for me grows, so will my love for others unfold in imitation.
|
Contemplatio
|
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also. The eye is the lamp of the body. If your vision is
clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your vision is poor,
your whole body will be full of darkness.” Mtt. 6:21
