MASS IN THE MORNING DECEMBER 24, 2021



A reading from the holy Gospel according to Lk 1:67-79


Zechariah his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied, saying: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; for he has come to his people and set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty Savior, born of the house of his servant David. Through his prophets he promised of old that he would save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hand of our enemies, free to worship him without fear, holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life. You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give his people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.”


REFLECTION:

“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; for he has come to his people and set them free."

Zechariah is silent no more. The Benedictus is a powerful prophecy of the coming of the Savior.


God has a plan for us. Before we were born, He knew He would send His only begotten Son to lay down His life for us. Yes, us! Weak, sinful and deceitful as we are. He loved us as unworthy as we are.

If we want to flourish with His plan, we do what He tells us and follow the path He has laid out for us. Following His tender mercies we will have hope, peace, love and eternity with Him.

God has given us all the gifts needed to accomplish this.

Christmas is one day away. Let us break our own “Zechariah silence” and tell all the Good News, praising God for His goodness and all He has done and will happen in the birth of our tiny Savior.

God bless you.
