Meditation on Today's Gospel:

We were made for God and our hearts are fidgety until they rest in God. Those who follow Jesus and who seek the will of God come into a new family, a family of "saints" here on earth and in heaven. Jesus changes the order of associations and shows that true relationship is not just a matter of flesh and blood. Our acceptance as sons and daughters of God transforms all our relationships and needs a new order of faithfulness to God and his kingdom. Do we hunger for God and for his word? Dear Infant Jesus, our heart is restless until it rests in the Lord. Help us to live in your presence and in the knowledge of your great love for us. May we look for to please you in all that we do, say, and think.
