(773) Reflecting on God s Word In today s irst reading King David is settled in his cedar palace, no upcoming battles on the horizon, feeling quite content, glass of wine in hand, chatting with Nathan the prophet about how good life is, when he gets this inspiration: God should have a house! Certainly more than that old tent we have been dragging around. And I will build it! Nathan approves. But that night, God weighs in: Tell David, Thanks, but no thanks. I like the tent. We don t know why God said no to David. But it seems that God wanted to make clear not only who was building God s dwelling place but also who really was in charge of everything. God was the kingdom builder and God chose to work with very simple material, like a tent. But this was nothing compared to God s decision a millennium later, on the day when the angel Gabriel was sent to a town of Galilee called Nazareth. God s plan from the beginning was to take up residence among us closer than any building could be, whether it was as magni icent as Solomon s temple or as humble as the simplest parish church. What God intended was to dwell with us as one of us, taking on human lesh and blood. And in the fullness of time God came asking if one of us would be willing. We don t know how long it took for Mary to answer. We only remember the important thing: she said yes. James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Copyright 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

3 Fourth Sunday of Advent Page Three Like Mary, the Church does not fear, for that Child is her strength. But she does not keep him for herself; she offers him to all those who seek him with a sincere heart, to the earth's lowly and af licted, to the victims of violence, and to all who yearn for peace. Today, too, on behalf of.a human family profoundly affected by a grave inancial crisis, yet even more by a moral crisis, and by the painful wounds of wars and con licts, the Church, in faithful solidarity with mankind, repeats with the shepherds: "Let us go to Bethlehem" (Lk 2:15), for there we shall ind our hope. Pope Benedict XVI Dear Parishioners! May God, the giver of peace, ill you with His love, and may the New Year be, for you, a time of blessing and hope. This is our we wish for you in gratitude. Fr. Waclaw Lech, OCD Fr. Paul Furdzik, OCD Fr. Jacek Chodzynski, OCD Jak Maryja, Kościół się nie lęka, gdyż to Dzieciątko jest jego mocą. Nie zatrzymuje Go jednak dla siebie: daje Go wszystkim, którzy Go szukają szczerym sercem, ubogim tego świata i uciśnionym, o iarom przemocy i tym, którzy łakną dobra, jakim jest pokój. Również dziś - w duchu wspólnoty i wierności człowiekowi - Kościół za pasterzami powtarza rodzinie ludzkiej, głęboko doświadczonej przez kryzys ekonomiczny, a jeszcze bardziej moralny, boleśnie zranionej wojnami i kon liktami: «Pójdźmy do Betlejem» (Łk 2, 15), tam znajdziemy naszą nadzieję. Papież Benedykt XVI Drodzy Para ianie! Niech Bóg Dawca Pokoju napełnia Was swoją miłością, a Nowy Rok niech będzie dla Was czasem błogosławieństwa i nadziei tego Wam życzą: O. Wacław Lech, OCD O. Paweł Furdzik, OCD O. Jacek Chodzyński, OCD GOD S WORD TODAY Today s readings ask us to make a home for God within our hearts. Listen carefully to the Gospel. Initially, Mary s reaction to Gabriel s astounding revelation is one of fear She was greatly troubled at what was said. As believers, we are called to the same kind of faith exhibited by Mary and, like her, our initial response might be one of fear. A central reason that Mary is held in such high esteem in our tradition is her response to Gabriel s message May it be done to me according to your word. She is the model for all believers. She made a home within her heart for the Son of God. We are asked to do the same. As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, may we allow God s word to open our hearts, making a receptive home there for Christ the Lord. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright J. S.
