Sunday Reflection – 8 December – The Second Sunday of Advent, Year A
Go With Him
St Ephrem of Syria (306-373)
Father & Doctor of the Church
“Go with Him, as His inseparable companion, to the wedding feast of Cana and drink of the wine of His blessing. Let you have ever before you, the Face of the Lord and look upon His beauty and let your earnest gaze turn nowhere away from His most sweet countenance.
Go before Him into a desert place and see the wonder of His works, where He multiplied in His own Holy Hands the bread that sufficed the great multitude.
Go, my brother, go forward and with all the love of your soul, follow Christ wherever He may go… And lovingly behold Him as taking bread into His hands, He blesses it and breaks it, as the outward form of His own Immaculate Body and the chalice which He blessed, as the outward form of His Precious Blood and gave to His Disciples and be you, also, a partaker of His sacraments.”
The early church fathers are the glue that held united as one church together. with all the heresy’s, executions, etc. they kept the faith, like when the Spanish got into what’s now the State New Mexico they found Christians already they were the Lady in Blue taught them ( St Maria de Egrada.bilocater)
