December 14, 2014 - In the readings today, Paul exhorts the community to Rejoice, to Pray, to be open to God. With the celebration of Mary's Annunciation this past week, we are reminded to be as open as she was in receiving the Lord in our life. This week in Advent, be glad for Mary's loving spirit, andask for her help to always rejoice in theblessings and graces you receive.
