Season of Advent 11
(Photo: Roy M. Thottathil, S.J.)
Isaiah 61: 1-2, 10-11
“The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon me,
Because the LORD has anointed me
to bring good tidings to the afflicted;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and opening of the prison
to those who are bound;
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour…
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
my soul shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me
with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me
with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it
to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations.”

You are welcome to ponder over the question:
Have I allowed Jesus to enter my life during this
season of advent?
If yes, what is its effect in my life?
