RB: Ch 72 The Good Zeal of Monks
Mass: 1 Jn 2:12-17; Resp Ps 96; Lk 2:36-40
MARY, CAUSE OF OUR JOY,
PRAY FOR US.
Since, "one is never too old to be surprised by joy", let us join the prophetess Anna, give thanks to God and "rejoice in the Lord always. I say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all" (Ph 4:4-5).
In its genuine simplicity, the nativity scene reminds us it is not the quantity of things that counts in life, but the quality of relationships. Drawing our gaze to God, who is poor in possessions and rich in love, it recalls us to what is essential.
