Daily Retreat 11/29/08
2008 Nov 29 Sat: Ordinary Weekday/ BVM
Rv 22: 1-7/ Ps 94(95): 1-2. 3-5. 6-7ab/ Lk 21: 34-36
From today’s readings: “Blessed is the one who keeps the prophetic message of this book.... Come, Lord Jesus!... Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.”
The End of the End
Today, the first reading is from the end of Revelation, the last book of the Bible. This is especially appropriate because today is also the last day of the Church's liturgical year. Tomorrow, with the first Sunday of Advent, we begin a new liturgical year.
It would thus be ideal to reflect today on some of your spiritual "highlights" of the pass year, thanking God for those and all His blessings, and then consider and plan what you can do during Advent to prepare your heart for the true meaning of Christmas.
