As Christmas approaches, we reflect on the profound Advent theme of Love. While earthly love can feel temporary and self-centered, God's love is eternal, sacrificial, and transformative. This week, we explore how to receive and embody divine love, as seen in the Christmas story and Scripture. God's love treasures, ponders, and pierces: it delights in the good of others, seeks their well-being, and sacrifices even at the cost of a broken heart. This love is embodied in Mary's journey, Simeon’s prophecy, and Jesus' sacrificial death. To access such love, we must be willing to love deeply, even when it makes us vulnerable, reflecting the heart of God.
