Saint John of the Cross, Priest, Doctor
Thursday of the 2nd week of Advent
First reading – Isaiah 41:13-20
“I, the Lord, your God, I am holding you by the right hand; I tell you, ‘Do not be afraid, I will help you.’” This is the meaning of the presence of the Lord in our life. The Lord is not far away. He is at our side. He is holding our hand. We should not be afraid of anything. The Lord accompanies us in each situation. He is the redeemer. He is the giver for the needy. He will not abandon us. He transforms everything for us even will make rivers well up on barren heights. Let’s reflect: Do I recognize the presence of my redeemer in my life?
