November 29 - Weekday in Advent

+ Jesus wants to be known. He rejoices that the wonders of God – hidden to so many – “are revealed to the childlike.”

Children yearn for the Father, whom the Son in Mary’s womb even now reveals.

           “Blessed are the eyes that see” life this Advent way.

For one look at stumps, and roots, and wild animals – and every other unlikely thing – tells them that awesome miracles of grace of going to happen.

Another perspective to keep in mind is that we can see and sense the beautiful plant and shrub that is taking root in us and sprouting forth – like the stump of Jesse’s tree – in our hearts and minds – as they are being visited by the Most Blessed Trinity, as was Mary, the Mother of God.

Every day when we water our souls with prayer, praise and acts of service to the poor, suffering and needy – a little growth, a little change takes place – and we become more the person, the trusting, loving child, that God intended us to be all along.

He offers helps and aids at every turn – if we but look with the eyes and ears of faith!

Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace forever – and this will happen in our own lives this very day!
