Avoiding Babylon Meditations for Advent 2024 - Day 17 - The Birth of John the Baptist
Join us on a contemplative journey as we unravel the insights from Day 17 of Advent, exploring the profound reflections of Bishop Jacques Bossuet. We'll reflect on the nurturing grace evident in Mary's three-month stay with Elizabeth and the awe-inspiring sanctification of John the Baptist in the womb. Witness the quiet strength of Mary's humility, offering a beacon of faith and patience amidst life's challenges. As we celebrate the birth of John the Baptist, we'll marvel at God's extraordinary mercy and intricate plans.
In our candid discussion, we confront the trials of maintaining faith in our religious leaders, drawing inspiration from Zachariah's story to distinguish between genuine obedience and mere compliance. As we look forward to meditating on themes of divine mercy and blessings, I humbly request your prayers for my 93-year-old grandmother, whose strength and perseverance are needed during her illness. Join us in this episode for reflections that inspire faith, obedience, and trust in God's work.
