Word of God Wednesday: Fourth Sunday of Advent
“Blessed art thou among women”: What is Elizabeth saying? The preposition among indicates the superlative degree. Mary is the “most blessed” of all women because she was chosen by God since the beginning (Genesis 3:15, protoevangelium) as “the woman,” the vessel whose seed would bring salvation to the world. Deacon Harold opens the topic today for Word of God Wednesday and looking into Soulful Psalm 80.

Our Lady
We see throughout our nation and in the world the flat-out rejection of Truth rooted in God’s love, which alone brings freedom and peace. In so many ways our society, instead of responding to God’s love with loving obedience, pursues sinful and selfish desires that enslave us in a culture of violence and death. This is why our Blessed Mother appears to us. Deacon Harold expands on this today as well as Soulful Psalm 33

Our Lady of Lorteo
I was indeed happy when on the way to Loreto, Our Lady had chosen an ideal spot in which to place her Holy House. Everything is poor, simple, and primitive; the women still wear the graceful dress of the country and have not, as in the large towns, adopted the modern Paris fashions. I found Loreto enchanting. Deacon Harold elaborates today. Also looking into Soulful Psalm Psalm 75:7-11

Word of God Wednesday: 2nd Sunday of Advent
The anticipation of Christ's coming fills us with joy because Christmas reminds us that we belong to Christ. Living in the light of Christ means emptying ourselves so that God can fill us.

Deacon Harold opens up more as we get into Week 2 of Advent. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 102:1-6.
