Gospel Reflection

In today’s Gospel, Matthew 11:16-19, Jesus compares his generation to children who are not content with anything. He calls us to recognize and accept God’s wisdom and teachings, which manifest unexpectedly.

The purpose for the day

Today, open your heart to God’s wisdom. Spend prayer and ask God to grant you a receptive and humble heart to accept his will and teachings in your life.


How to live Christmas as a family

As a family, talk about the importance of accepting and recognizing God’s wisdom in your lives. You can share experiences in which you have seen God’s hand at work in unexpected ways and how you have learned to trust in his plan.

Prayer for the day

“Lord Jesus, give me a humble heart receptive to your wisdom. Help me to recognize and accept your teachings in my life, always trusting in your love and your plan. Bless my family and allow us to walk together in this time of Advent, guided by your wisdom and your truth. Amen.”
