One Bread,One Body Reflection: "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS _____"

Access: Presentation Ministries

The Lord shouts to us: "Arise" (Song of Songs 2:10, 13). He calls us to rise above our meager expectations.

In the northern USA, we expect snow; God expects a new springtime in the Spirit (Song of Songs 2:11).

We expect family gatherings; God expects us to take our royal place in His glorious family (John 3:5; Matthew 12:50).

We expect good tidings; God sends the Good News by sending His only Son, Jesus (John 1:14).

We expect delicious Christmas treats; God expects Christ-Mass, featuring the Eucharistic banquet of the Lamb.

We expect the Christmas Spirit; God expects us to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:41).

We expect Christmas carols; God provides His own music as He sings joyfully about us (Zephaniah 3:17).

Raise your expectations and have yourself a Mary Christ-Mass.
