We all have days when we feel overburdened. When everything just feels too much. So how can we possibly keep all the different plates spinning when there is so much going on? And how can we comfort and ease the burdens of others?

And so it begins with wood.

It almost ends with wood.

And the main mover is a carpenter.

Advent: What are we waiting for?

Gospel today:

Jesus asks “What do you want me to do for you?”

What a question!

What do you want Jesus to do for you?

What is your deepest need?

On world poverty day let us remember without belittling physical poverty, that there are many other forms of poverty as well.

#TyphoonVamco – one of the strongest storms in the world this year - made landfall in the Philippines, leaving flooding and rain-induced landslides. So far, 39 people have been killed and thousands evacuated. @Rajibooey shares videos of residents trapped on rooftops.

Todays Gospel:

"Which one of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost?"

There is a risk and a cost to following Jesus

There is a letting go

A trusting

A falling into love

A price worth paying

Amen

Gospel Today: "You must also be prepared .... the Son of man will come"

How to prepare?

By living a life that is focused on loving God, Loving our Neighbours, Loving our selves.

This is preparation, witness, and a life worth living.

Amen - 'let it be' 'make it so'.

Today's Gospel:

"Do not be afraid.
You are worth more than many sparrows."

Let us pray today:
that we realise and remember this,
and help us today to help the people we meet
to know and feel this as well.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Education bears within itself a seed of hope: the hope of peace and justice; the hope of beauty and goodness; the hope of social harmony. #GlobalCompactOnEducation https://t.co/12UM7BZOgp

Gospel today:

Jesus warns the teachers of the law:

“You have taken away the key of knowledge,
You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.”

Let us pray today:
That as always, we open hearts and minds to new horizons and a deeper relationship with God.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Tenderness is love that draws near and becomes real. A movement that starts from our heart and reaches the eyes, the ears and the hands. Tenderness is the path of choice for the strongest, most courageous men and women. #FratelliTutti

[CardinalNewmanChapel @CNCS_Chaplaincy]

Todays Mass reading: The Sign of Jonah

The sign of Jonah
reminds us in every generation,
in every season,
in every day,
to return to our relationship with Jesus.

Jesus is the sign of Jonah

Lets include Jesus in our life today.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Every person has the right to live with dignity and to develop him or herself completely, even if they were born with or grew up with limitations. For the immense dignity of the human person is not based on circumstances but on the intrinsic worth of their being. #FratelliTutti

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We achieve fulfilment when we break down walls and our hearts are filled with faces and names. #FratelliTutti

Today's Mass reading:
"Whosoever is not for me is against me"

As the Popes letter - 'Fratelli tutti' points out:

Explicitly or implicitly,
the choices that we make in life,
either do what God wants,
or they go against what God wants

Lets consciously do what God wants today.
