Fourth Sunday of Advent

Sunday, December 22nd, 2024

 

    Starting December 17th, the Church lowers her gaze from the second glorious coming of the Lord Jesus at the end of time to give her full attention to the coming birth of the Divine Christ Child.  In our readings this Sunday St. John the Baptist leaps for joy in his mother’s womb as John meets the Lord Jesus who is concealed in his mother’s womb.  Elizabeth’s words to Mary are a profession of faith, “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb!  And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” 

     The Letter to the Hebrews for its part, already has its eye on the paschal mystery and the obedience unto death of the Messiah who comes among us. The coming of Christ as human does away with all other sacrifices.  Jesus’ sacrifice is first and foremost a spiritual sacrifice which consists of Jesus complete obedience in doing His Father’s will.  His giving of Himself to the point of bloodshed and death is a sign of that inner sacrifice.
