READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 24, 2017
December 24, 2017 4th Sunday of Advent
"Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall
name him Jesus." Today is the last Sunday of the Advent season, and we
hear in the Gospel the anticipation of the feast we will celebrate in just one
day. Christmas is coming! Jesus is on his way!
We have had weeks to prepare for this momentous occasion, and now
we are on the very verge of its arrival. The children in our midst can hardly
contain their excitement as they wait to wake up on Christmas morning.
The thrill of this coming moment is meant to remind us of the joy and
anticipation we should all feel as we await the coming of Christ. Yes,
Christmas is a great feast, but there is more here than a remembrance of the
past or a fabulous party in the present. There is a looking-ahead as well. We
celebrate as we anticipate.
Much as Mary must have waited in wonder during the nine months of
her pregnancy, we wait in hopeful expectation as Christians looking
forward to being reunited with our Savior. Our future is full of hope. The
deflating melancholy that afflicts many people after a holiday runs its
course need not be the experience of the Christian waiting for Christ. We
are always looking forward to something! There is never a moment when
we have no cause for joy. Our lives are lived in a kind of unending advent
as we stand in watchful waiting.
Let us remember this as we enter into our Christmas Eve gatherings and
festivities. As we join with family and friends to share in the good things of
this life, may we carry with us the joy of knowing that even better things lie
in store for us who welcome the infant Jesus into our hearts and homes.
