Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Thursday, December 23, 2010

When Christ came into the world, He said..."I have come to do Your Will, O God."...By one offering He mad perfect forever those who are made holy.
- Hebrews 10:5


Reflection: Jesus Christ, the God-Man, was born in a manger and is spiritually reborn on the altar. He suffered on Calvary and continues to offer Himself on the altar. In His earthly life He spread His teaching and worked miracles among the crowds. In the Eucharist, He spans the centuries and communicates Himself to all.
- St. John Chrysostom


Prayer: Heavenly Father, in contemplating the birth of Your =Son in time and in the Eucharist, may I ever attain a new birth.
