Advent Reflection - December 1st 2008

Lord, increase my faith

The pluralist culture of our society, in this day and age, is challenged by the Christian belief that God became human, walked amongst us and left us with the guarnatee of eternal life in His father.

Our allegedly 'inclusive' minds are not truly at ease with the message of Christ which is truly universal.

Each and all of us are made in the image and likeness of God, and we yearn for the total and permanent union with God which is a hunger within us all borne out of dignity, and must be respected.

To promote greater justice and equality on Earth requires us to remember the words, deeds and actions of Christ - an alter Christus - another Christ.

Lord, help me to see You in every person that I meet,
and to love each person as You love me.
