Saturday of the 1st week of Advent
Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin
First reading – Isaiah 30:19-21,23-26
In this reading we can see how much the presence of the Lord in our midst will change our lives. When the Lord is present in our midst, the Word of God say, there will not be any more weeping. He will be our guide. When we don’t know where to turn, either to left or right, what decisions to make, where to go, our ears will hear these words behind us, “This is the way, follow it”. So, we will have no more doubts and fears when we recognize the presence of the Lord in our life. Then the Lord assists us in what we do. We sow the seeds, but the Lord brings the rain for the seeds. Moreover, He makes on every lofty mountain, on every hill, streams, and watercourses for us. Even more, the Lord dresses our wounds and heals the bruises. He does not look for the cause of our wounds, but He dresses the wounds. In other words, the presence of the Lord in our midst becomes a helping hand in everything we do. Let’s reflect: Do I recognize the helping hand of the Lord in my life?
