GOD WITH US
The Fourth Sunday of Advent invites us to focus on the Incarnation – the Word of God becoming flesh. We celebrate this awesome event at Christmas, where we encounter the long-promised Emmanuel – “God with us”. The Readings serve to bring out this mystery, tracing its origins in Isaiah’s prophecy in the First Reading and its fulfilment in the Gospel. Paul summarizes this mystery in the Second reading as what God “promised through the prophets” regarding his Son who was born “according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God”. Let us then focus on the richness of God’s Word as it prepares us to enter into this wonderful mystery.
