Reflection for Sunday, December 19, 2021: 4th Week of Advent.

Abstract

|… from you shall come forth for me|one who is to be ruler… whose origin is from of old,| from ancient times. (Micah 5:1)|Ancient times! Ancient is sometimes hard to comprehend. Each year we anticipate Christmas. Each year follows a new year. Every year after Christmas we usher in the New Year. Can we even think of ancient times? Our faith journey does not let us forget.|Throughout these past weeks of Advent we recall prophecies of the coming Messiah!|Jesus tells us about following God's will. Thus says the Christ, as it is written of me in the scroll, behold, I come to do your will, O God.
