He is our God Who entered into the troubles of humanity to bring us joy by His presence that is deeper than anything in this world.
Jesus Christ our Savior has truly set us free, as the servant upon whom the Spirit of God descended that He would proclaim a year of God's favor.
God is truly with us in such a close way like never before, and so we always have reason to rejoice.
And we rejoice in the mission we have to point others to Him. St. John the Baptist fully acknowledged that he wasn't the One the people were anticipating. He knew full well that His work was to point others to Him.
We find true meaning in life when we realize it's not about us, but giving glory to the One Who comes to dwell with us and brings Light and Joy to our lives.
We give thanks for the ways Pope Francis has helped share light and joy in his role as Pope as we celebrate his birthday today.
Once again, I rejoice in marking another anniversary for this blog, which I started 10 years ago on Gaudete Sunday, desiring to joyfully share my reflections on the readings at Mass. It was after attending Vespers at Holy Name Cathedral, which I did again today, before Mass there, as part of my annual pilgrimage trip there.
