Fourth Sunday of ADVENT

Love

For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been
conceived in her.  She will bear a son and you are to name 
him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.

 - Matthew 1: 20b-21 (Today's gospel)

 “The modern world’s feverish struggle for unbridled,

often unlicensed, freedom is answered by the bound,

enclosed helplessness and dependence of Christ:

Christ in the womb,

Christ in the Host,

Christ in the tomb."
