"Fear not, I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13). God's promise, echoed by the Prophet was entirely fulfilled in the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem. For this reason, we need not fear. The season we are living of Advent encourages us to hope."The editor of Advent and Christmas Wisdom from Pope John Paul II, suggests that we "identify what it is that (we) most fear" and "give it to the Christ Child today."
We can humbly approach the manger and ask the Christ Child to protect us as He was protected in all His poverty and need.
lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Actually, thank the late Holy Father! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...I will ponder and do just that.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest fear is offending God that is why The Sacrament of Penance is SO important for me and hopefully for us all.
ReplyDeleteGod is so good and such a loving Father He gave us a Sacrament that will restore what WE have broken.
Wonderful Reflection Thankyou Dymphna:)
Peace to you:)
