~~~ Memorial of Saint Lucy ~~~
~~~ Isaiah 41:13-20 ~~~ Psalm 145 ~~~ Matthew 11:11-15 ~~~
John the Baptist was the link between
the Old Testament and the New Testament.
He foretold the coming of the Lord and when the appointed time came
he took Jesus into the Jordan river, submerged him,
and proclaimed him to be the Son of God.
The heavens opened and God exclaimed joy for his Beloved Son.
The trees and all that is living flourish in the presence of the Lord.
As you decorate your Christmas tree this year let it be a reminder of how God
is there for you in his roll as shepherd and as the one who brings forth
the living water in joyful fountains, perhaps even dancing fountains.
Saint Lucy knew what it meant to listen for the voice of the Lord.
She models for us what it means to be joyful in the Lord,
even in the face of death.
St. Lucy, Pray for us!
