HOW DO WE SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIA?

Biblical Reflection for the 4th Sunday of Advent http://www.zenit.org/article-24602?l=english

By Father Thomas Rosica, CSB

A song says, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas."

Christmas lanterns are all around, and the dominant colors are green, yellow and red. Do these colors have significance?

Green - does it speak of hope that Christ brings to us?
Yellow - is it the peace that this Prince speaks to our hearts?
Red - is it the greatest love the world has ever known in John 3:16? Is it the blood of Jesus for our salvation? But why there's so much blood brought by war, human trafficking and abortion?

As such, I still dream of a WHITE CHRISTMAS to the hearts of each one.

The boxing world is in shock after the legendary Mexican Oscar de la Hoya was sent into retirement by Filipino Manny Pacquiao on December 6 in Las Vegas.

Merry Christmas People of God! May our Christmas be as blessed as ever!

What is a Happy Christmas?
