Read It:
Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said,
"I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows who the Son is except the Father,
and who the Father is except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him."
Turning to the disciples in private he said,
"Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
For I say to you,
many prophets and kings desired to see what you see,
but did not see it,
and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it."

Reflect on It:
We know of the goodness of God. Blessed are we to see Christ in the Eucharist, to hear his word. So many people desire that relationship with Christ, but don't have it. We are blessed to be those people. As we ponder Advent in our hearts, let's be people who desire a deeper, bigger, crazy awesome relationship with Christ.
Pray About It: God our Father, help me to have a better and deeper relationship with your son this Advent season. I love you Lord. Help me to desire you always.
Live it! Challenge: Spend five minutes today going to before the Lord in the Eucharist.
