FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Mary set out
and traveled to the hill country in haste
to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah
and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,
cried out in a loud voice and said,
“Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
And how does this happen to me,
that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For at the moment the sound of your greeting
reached my ears,
the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
Blessed are you who believed
that what was spoken to you by the Lord
would be fulfilled.”
Luke 1:39-45

WISHING YOU A PRAYERFUL ADVENT
AS WE PREPARE FOR THE BIRTH
OF THE CHRIST CHILD!
Please pray for all those who were impacted by the storms that ripped through
the country last week, especially those who were injured and lost property
and for the repose of the souls of those who died. May the Lord comfort
their families and bring relief and aid to all who are in need.
Wishing everyone a very blessed week as we draw near to Christmas!
