Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other; Isaiah 45:22
St. John of the Cross, a sixteenth-century
mystic, was responsible for reforming the
Carmelite Order. He was a person who
lived an austere life, renouncing many of
the things of the world. A man of intense
prayer, John often prayed to Jesus as his
savior ;and had great dedication to the
Cross of Christ. He would have been
familiar with the above passage from
Isaiah.
Today we need to be saved from the
materialistic valued of the world. We are
bombarded with “things” - things we want
for ourselves, things we want to buy others.
How can we simplify our lives as we
prepare to celebrate Christmas?

Let us pray:
Lord Jesus, empower us to simplify our lives as
St. John of the Cross did. Strengthen us to
remember poor people at this time of the year and
to use our resources to bring joy to their lives.
Amen
