You are like naughty children.
"Jesus said to the crowds:
“To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.’
"For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’
"The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
"But wisdom is vindicated by her works.” (Matthew 11: 16 - 19).
Friday December 15th 2023 of the 2nd Week of Advent.
Jesus called out to all of us in today's Gospel: Stop acting like naughty children. We all pretend we know more than Wisdom and holier than the most holy. More powerful than....
Accept who you are. Little beloved children of a most loving Father. A God who desires most to be called Father.
Happy Advent!
December is the Month the Church honors the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
"Mary was conceived without original sin. This grace and privilege are fitting in view of the birth and death of her Son Jesus Christ, who is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.
"O God, who by the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, did prepare a worthy dwelling place for Your Son, we beseech You that, as by the foreseen death of this, Your Son, You did preserve Her from all stain, so too You would permit us, purified through Her intercession, to come unto You."
