Do All that is in Your Mind, for the Lord is with You.

2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8-12. 14.16
Meditation
Do All that is
in Your Mind, for the Lord is with You.
David suffered
and prayed without ceasing for the wrong he had done. The Lord blessed him
abundantly for his love for him. He promised Messiah to his descendants. He
suppressed all his enemies and gave him a peaceful life.
The Lord
promised a lot of blessings both in the world and in the next. He is the
greatest on the earth. His throne is established forever on earth and in
heaven. The Messiah is the everlasting king of the earth and heaven. The Lord’s
blessings to those who love him are everlasting.
Do we know that
the blessings of God are everlasting?
Gospel Lk 1:67-79
Meditation
Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and
prophesied: “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel because he has come to
his people and redeemed them. He has raised a horn[a] of salvation for us in
the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long
ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us— to show
mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant. the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies and
to enable us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him
all our days. And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for
you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people
the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of
the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from
heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to
guide our feet into the path of peace.” (Lk 1:67-79)
Jesus is like the sun, very
powerful. The Sun gives light. Jesus is the light of our life. Jesus, like
the sun, dispels the darkness from the lives of people. The ancient Romans
celebrated the sun god’s feast on the 25th of December. The birth of Jesus was
fixed on the Roman sun god’s feast day. They have accepted Jesus Christ, the
real sun of their life. We believe Jesus is the Son of God who came to cancel
all our sins. So, our light of life is Jesus. Let us accept Him as the light of
our life.
Do we accept Jesus as our Light
and Life?
