GREAT DAYS OF ADVENT – DECEMBER 19TH

Reflection:
When God said to Abram, “Go!”, what did he want to say? He certainly did not say to distance himself from his family or withdraw from the world. Abram received a compelling invitation, a challenge, to leave everything and go to a new land. What is this “new land” for us today, if not a more just and friendly society which you, young people, deeply desire and wish to build to the very ends of the earth?

Prayer:
O Root of Jesse’s stem,
sign of God’s love for all his people:
come to save us without delay!
