December 4

"In the interim just as the Mother of Jesus, glorified in body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected is the world to come, so too does she shine forth on earth, until the day of the Lord shall come, as a sign of sure hope and solace to the people of God during its sojourn on earth."

-Lumen Gentium 68

Today's Reflection:

How is God calling you to shine forth during this Advent season? What hope and solace can you provide to His people as they journey over the next few weeks?
