Our reflection from the Gospel this week is:

“Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”

The Fourth Sunday of Advent highlights the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the story of our salvation. As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, we ask the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We ask her to pray with us and for us that we might be fully prepared for the coming of Christ.

We pray together: St. Jude, fill me with the Holy Spirit and give me joy in increasing my faith.
