Fourth Tuesday in Advent

What, then, will this child be? For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.

When we were born we received a name from our parents, but the graces of our life from God. The people who witnessed our birth might have wondered what we might be, but God knows. Some might have seen us as an unexpected accident or a prayed for blessing, but all of us came into this world with the Lord being with us. His hand is there to support us in our trials, to raise us up when we fall, and to squeeze our hands when we are in need of consolation.

What will we be in the eyes of God? What can we do in light of our gifts, talents, and situations to be the best children we can be? How will we be remembered, not only by our family and friends, but more importantly our Savior?

O Lord, may we be willing to let you guide us with your Providential Hand so we can be your good and faithful servants.

Amen.
