Reflection: The readings for today give us a powerful message in a time when things seem uncertain and confusing in our world. We are reminded that there must be a spirit of wisdom and understanding in order for there to be true peace, regardless of differences in the world. This peace is what allows us to be able “to think in harmony with one another” and “with one voice” glorify God so that we may prepare the way of the Lord by creating an environment where everyone is welcomed and embraced. How can I better welcome the other and, in doing so, welcome the peace that Christ brings?
Prayer: God of love and peace, give us wisdom and understanding to bring about peace in our world. Help me to model the peace that the Incarnation brings so that I may reach out with understanding and a welcome embrace to everyone in the world, especially the excluded and forgotten.
