Today's Advent theme for the Fourth Sunday of Advent to ponder is:
Mary bore a son, and named him Jesus.
So how might we create a Spirituality in Action (SIA) for today from this theme?
- Keep this last week of Advent a holy time by some time of reflection and quiet.
- Give Jesus whatever is in your heart: sadness, joy, burdens and longings.
- Pray for all pregant mothers and fathers that they will listen carefully to the name God has named the unborn.
- Pray for all pregant women about to give birth, that their labour will go smoothly for them and the pangs of childbirth will give way to the joy of a healthy baby.
- Light the fourth candle of the advent wreath and pray for all the faithful depearted that they may see the full glory of God in heaven.
- Pray for all families around the world who have lost a loved one during this year and whose first Christmas without them will not be totally filled with sadness and pain.
Let us keep this last week of Advent a holy time as we prepare for Christmas. Let us remember the true reason for the season of Christmas- CHRIST.
