SIA; First Wednesday of Advent

Today's Advent theme for the first Wednesday of Advent to ponder is:

Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! Let us rejoice and be glad!


So how might we create a Spirituality in Action (SIA) for today from this theme?

My suggestions are as follows:
  • Pray for courage for all priests and religious whose special ministry is to spread the Gospel.
  • Look for God in our day today- when in need ask Him to come and save us.
  • Review our lives and remember the times God has come to save us. Rejoice and be glad.
  • Consider one action that you will take today to express your desire-"Come Lord Jesus".

Today is the feast of St Andrew- brother of St Peter.  Scripture tells us:

'One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first found his brother Simon, and said to him,"We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).(Jn 1:40-42)

We might like to consider today who we will bring to Jesus. Do we need to bring ourselves first so that Jesus will give us a 'new name''?

Who will we bring to Christ today/this advent season?
