As of January 19, 2024, there have been 73 people shot and a total of 18 homicides this month. We will be gathering at the Congregation of St Joseph, 1515 Ogden Avenue, La Grange Park to pray for all who have lost their lives to violence this month. We pray for an end to violence in our city. We will still stream the vigil if you wish to join virtually.

Do you think that the word “will,” as in a future action, echoed around twenty times in today’s Scriptures, had much influence on the Jewish mind and heart of the young Mary we find in Luke’s Gospel account?

We recognize in the core values of the Sisters of the Living Word the same message as Isaiah when he writes, “He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken.”

Paul says “care for the weak and be patient with everyone.”

Jesus himself says, “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto me.”

Isaiah begins his word today by making a pertinent statement – “Give comfort to my people.” Who are these people today? An answer might be – migrants who are looking for a better life in today’s world, or street people whose aspirations may be no different, or the elderly in our midst for whom life is getting short.

Trusting in God’s Providence, from Core SLW Value #2, is the message of the first Readings on the four Sundays of Advent. The prophet Isaiah had to deal with the slow movement of God in bringing the people back to their land after a period of exile.

Count Your Blessings! We have so many challenges personally and on a global scale. Each day we struggle to find peace and meaning in the suffering we are experiencing worldwide.
