Gifts Returned to God “For everything is from You, and we only give You what
we have received from You.” -1 Chronicles 29:14
Next weekend's 2nd Collection, December 17, is for
St. Andrew Charity.
TENDER, COMFORTING LOVE
"Comfort, give comfort to My people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem." —Isaiah 40:1-2
This Christmas, the Lord wants us to have a special "encounter" with Him (see Church in America, 3). He
wants our relationship with Him to be greater than any other love in our life. He will make our relationship
with Him so deep, personal, and intimate that He will be a Source of comfort for us even in our worst suf-
ferings (see Is 40:1-2; Ps 94:19). The Lord wants a tender relationship with us (see Is 40:2). He even lives
in us and us in Him (Jn 14:20; 17:23, NAB). The depth and the intimacy of our relationship with the Lord is
such that we can receive even His Body and Blood into our bodies.
We receive this deep, personal, intimate relationship with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. For example, Jesus'
disciples spent day after day with Jesus for years, but they never had a deep relationship. This was mani-
fested when they abandoned Christ as He was crucified. However, when the Holy Spirit descended upon
them at Pentecost, they became so close to Jesus that they gave their lives to Him, proclaimed His love to
the nations, and even died for Him.
Therefore, let us pray: Come, Holy Spirit! Come, Christmas Spirit of comforting, tender, and deep love!
