Today again, Isaiah offers consoling words of HOPE, reminding us not to fear nor blush, that our sins of our youth should be forgotten, and that God will espouse us with tenderness into a permanent union. Indeed, "Though the mountains leave their place and the hills be shaken, My love shall never leave you nor my convenient of peace be shaken, says the Lord of mercy." (Cf. Is 54: 4,10). Pope Francis in THE. JOY OF THE GOSPEL, calls to mind the essential message that the catechist must proclaim is" Jesus Christ loves you, he gave his life to se you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you." E.G. #164. And often at Mass we sing the popular hymn, I HAVE LOVED YOU "I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have called you, and you are mine." (M. Joncas).
As we proceed through these final days of Advent, this is the hope toward which we look with joy and confidence. Let us base our Advent/Christmas joy on it. Let us share it gladly and joyfully.
