This week is the 4th Sunday of Advent in which the church celebrates the anticipation of the arrival of Emmanuel ("God with us") in the person of Jesus Christ. We light the Love Candle this week. Our Advent Series Those Who Dream reminds us that those who dream do not fall asleep to the realities of this world. God prompts us to pay attention to where God's dreams for change and new life are emerging.
This week, we recognize what preceded Mary's song of praise: news that was disorienting and bewildering, possibly threatening her life. Together, Mary and Elizabeth find courage and comfort in spite of their unusual circumstances. We, too, are called to carry, support, and encourage one another's dreams.
Passage: Luke 1:26-45
