On the Fourth Sunday, the Gospel reading is about the events involving Mary and Joseph that led directly to the birth of Jesus, while the other readings are related to these.
Faith–Prepare–Joy–Love.
On this last Sunday, all our candles are lit.
The Old Testament uses a rich vocabulary to express the
love of God, as a concept that appears in many instances. The Lord expresses his love through the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah and says, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness” (Jeremiah 31:2)
Know today that the Lord will come: you will see his glory in the morning.
The Fourth Sunday of Advent symbolizes Love. All four candles will be lit on our Advent wreath, and we will have a full circle of light. The Lord brings the light of Love to his people by sending His only Son to earth for our salvation.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16-17) May the Love of Christ be with you and your family always.
Hi- Thanks for sharing what you know about the issue of hunger on your page here blog.ericmichelministries.ca/p/links.html. Food insecurity has become an even bigger issue over the last few years, which is absolutely tragic.
And when you see the amount of food waste, all of this sounds insane. While doing some research online about the topic, I found an article that lists tons of food banks, organized by region. Here it is:
The more this is shared, the better it can do. If you help get the word out by sharing this link with your readers, it will go such a long way to help feeding the hungry. Best,
As Christmas draws near, the Church emphasizes the joy which should be in our hearts over all that the birth of our Saviour means for us. The third Sunday of Advent in 2023 is December 17th. The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally called Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete is the Latin word for rejoice, and this Sunday is the time for us to rejoice because Jesus came and died so that we may live forever with him!

Joy
Following the Eric Michel Testimony of the Virgin Mary on the Second Sunday of Advent. Back to my origin, Michel de Notre Dame. As mentioned on the previous Sunday, as a protestant ministry, Mary didn’t occupy a place in our Celebrations, prayers, etc. Eric Michel Ministries was, for ten years, a Christ-centred ministry.
In 2024, our ministry will be Christ through Mary as part of the Marian Movement.
Marianism
The Veneration of Mary
Our various devotions, which will include prayers, pious acts, visual arts, poetry, and music, are devoted to Mary.
Believing in the incarnation of God the Son through Mary is the basis for calling her the Mother of God, which was declared a dogma at the Council of Ephesus in 431. At the Second Vatican Council and in Pope John Paul II’s encyclical Redemptoris Mater, she is also spoken of as Mother of the Church.
Redemptoris Mater (Latin: Mother of the Redeemer) is an encyclical by Pope John Paul II delivered on March 25, 1987, in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Subtitled On the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Life of the Pilgrim Church, the text addresses many topics in Mariology. The four Marian dogmas of
Mother of God, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption form the basis of Mariology.
Mariology (the study of Mary) has been related to
Christology (the study of Christ) and, in Catholic theological and papal writings, has been viewed as interwoven with the mystery of Christ.
Today is a Sunday of Joy, and we are aiming our day to the Seven Joyful Mysteries; you are invited to join the Marian Family Prayer Group on FB for the Joyful Mysteries:
The Seven Joys of the Virgin (or of Mary, the Mother of Jesus) is a popular devotion to events of the life of the Virgin Mary, arising from a trope of medieval devotional literature and art.
The Seven Joys were frequently depicted in medieval devotional literature and art. The seven joys are usually listed as follows:
The Annunciation
The Nativity of Jesus
The Adoration of the Magi
The Resurrection of Christ
The Ascension of Christ to Heaven
The Pentecost or Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and Mary
