love came down

 
 

The third Sunday in Advent has arrived and today we're focussing on love: a love that overcomes, sustains, forgives, strengthens and transforms. Let his love live within us this Christmas, as we say: Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus, prepare our hearts this Christmas to make room for you. May we not be like the inns that first Christmas, that were too full to receive the Christ child. I pray we, like the lowly shepherds in the stable, offer up all that we have to receive your transforming love today.
