What things are we discussing these days?

GOSPEL THOUGHTS*

*Advent Season : 4th Week : Friday*

*Gospel : Lk 1:57-66*

*First Reading : Mal 3:1-4, 23-24*

*What things are we discussing these days?*

*1) The Birth of John*

The Gospel of the day speaks about the birth of John

When he was born, lots of things were spoken about him 

So, some discussed about his name and other things 

Others discussed about his future. *"What, then, will this child be?"*

So, in the Gospel, we see today the birth of John and his mission  becomes very important. And all were discussing about the same matter, everywhere

*2)The Birth of Jesus*

We are in the last phase of Advent. We will be celebrating Christmas, within few days 

So in this context, what are my thoughts? 

Am I discussing about his birth to know more about him?

Am I discussing about the miraculous birth of Jesus?

Am I discussing about the spiritual preparation in the context of the birth of Jesus 

Am I discussing about the holy family? 

Am I discussing about the Jesus' birth in the manger? 

Am I discussing about the meaningful liturgy on Christmas mass?

Am I discussing about the mission of Messiah? 

*3) My discussions*

What are we discussing in the context of Jesus' birth? 

Am I discussing reconciliation or hatred? 

 Am I discussing about the forgiveness or hatred
