One Bread, One Body - Reflection for December 13, 2016

WILL I HAVE CHRISTMAS?

I will "remove from your midst the proud braggarts." –Zephaniah 3:11

"I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly." –Zephaniah 3:12

To deprive yourself of Christmas:

To meet Christ in a new way this Christmas:

"Prepare the way of the Lord" (Mt 3:3; Is 40:3).

PRAYER: Father, prepare me for the best Christmas ever.
PROMISE: "When John came preaching a way of holiness, you put no faith in him." –Mt 21:32
PRAISE: St. Lucy refused to renounce Jesus, and was condemned to die in a house of prostitution. Jesus made her immovable, such that even a team of oxen was unable to drag her to the brothel.
