As we approach the Nativity of Our Lord, Pope Leo XIV calls us to reflect God’s love through acts of mercy, compassion, and faith. May our hearts be ready to welcome Christ at His birth.
As we reflect on the fourth week of Advent today, let us remember to embrace in our hearts, love. "And the angel said to them, “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11

Rejoice. Pope Leo XIV reminds us that the joy of Advent comes from welcoming Christ’s light into our lives and sharing it with others.
Dear Jesus, you entered our world on Christmas as the Prince of Peace. This Advent, as we strive to become the-best-version-of-ourselves, fill us with a deep and abiding peace. Help us share that peace with everyone we encounter, especially those who need it most. Amen.
