BUNDLE OF JOY
“And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth…” – Luke 1:14
Expecting a baby could be fearful at first but undoubtedly exciting. We prepare the things he would need and, at the same time, we brace ourselves for parenthood.
When
he is born into this world, the joy he brings is truly indescribable.
You may spend hours just staring at him and peace just overflows from
within. You could just hold his tiny hands and a smile gets glued on
your face. And whatever little moves he makes, you would want the whole
world to know and see.
A
baby is like an energy drink that keeps you awake at dawn and up and
about even though you feel sleepy and tired. A baby is like a magic pill
that makes you feel well even if you’re sick. A baby’s presence helps
you shrug off any cause of disagreement. A baby generates light. A baby
brings life! A baby is love!
In
this season of Advent, we prepare ourselves and rejoice for the birth
of the ultimate source of all joy, light, peace and love — our Lord
Jesus Christ. O come, let us adore Him! Sol Saura (sol_saura@yahoo.com)
REFLECTION:
What preparations are you doing for His coming?
Lord, in the midst of all the celebration, may we remember that You are the reason for the season.
Blessed Pope Urban V, pray for us.
