(A journey through Verses from the Bible – with practical applications – to Love Jesus & Live Jesus!)

DAY 11: GIVING GOD’S PRESENCE TO OTHERS!

BIBLE VERSE
(Lk 1:41) “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth [was] filled with the Holy Spirit…”

CONTEXT OF THE BIBLE VERSE
Carrying the Fullness of Grace in Her Womb, Mother Mary reaches out in humble service to Elizabeth, who, on hearing the voice of her Blessed Cousin…
… is filled with the Joyful Presence of the Holy Spirit
… and experiences her child – John, who is to be the Baptist – leaping for delight, just as the Ark of the Covenant made King David to leap for joy (Cf. 2 Sam 6:14-22)

WHAT IS CHRIST SPEAKING TO ME, THROUGH THIS BIBLE VERSE?

Be an instrument of the Holy Spirit, so that your presence brings joy and hope to the people around you
Mother Mary is the New Ark of the Covenant – having Jesus the Word, Jesus the Manna (Bread) and Jesus, the Priest in her womb

HOW CAN I CELEBRATE CHRIST, THIS CHRISTMAS?

1. Pray daily to the Holy Spirit, and say: “Holy Spirit, fill my heart with your love and joy!”
2. Learn by heart, any 3 verses of the Bible

LET’S PRAY
Lord Jesus, fill my heart with the joy of Your Holy Spirit, and may I radiate joy and hope to everyone in my life, Amen!

Let us celebrate Christ, the Word, this Christmas, and live like Him!

God Bless! Live Jesus!
