Obedience of faith, promise of love and trust in the Lord
December 19, 2021: Fourth Sunday in Advent
Micah 5: 1-4; Hebrew 10:5-10:Luke 1:39-45
Faith is the ultimate celebration of Advent and that is what we begin this Sunday! We celebrate our faith - the promise of love from the Lord and our obedience of faith in trust!
The Obedience of Faith is signified in the purpose with which Jesus came into this world - here I come to do your will! That is the purpose of our lives too and it adds meaning to our existence!
The Promise of Love is the blessed assurance that is given by the Lord - a promise that comes right from the origin of creation, when we were promised a redeemer, a never-ceasing care for our fullness of life.
Trust in the Lord is the source of peace, hope and joy that we have been celebrating all these weeks... and our Blessed Mother is given as the highest of examples: blessed is she who beleived in the promises of the Lord.
The blessed assurance that we have in our life is faith: the relationship that we have with the Almighty who created me and the continued presence of the Lord.
