Gospel Reflection
In today’s Gospel, Luke 1:57-66, the birth of John the Baptist is announced, and Father Zacharias, upon regaining his speech, sings the Benedictus, praising God for the coming of his Savior. This passage invites us to reflect on how the coming of Jesus brings salvation and liberation to all.
The purpose of the day
Today, reflect on how the coming of Jesus brings salvation to your life. Thank God for the grace of salvation and all he has done for you.
How to live Christmas as a family
As a family, pray the Benedictus together, and thank God for the coming of his Son, Jesus reflects on how Christmas is a time of salvation and redemption, and how you can live that grace in your daily life.
Prayer for the day
“Lord Jesus, thank you for coming to meet us and bringing us salvation. Help me to fully live the grace of your birth and to share that joy with others. Bless my family and allow us to walk together in this time of Advent, celebrating your love. Amen.”
