Advent Reflections: Thursday, December 9 • St. Juan Diego, Hermit •

I am the Lord, your God,

who grasp your right hand;
It is I who say to you, “Fear not,
I will help you.” —Isaiah 41:13

When I am floundering on the mountainside of life,
I don’t need a map or a guidebook. I need someone who takes me by the hand, guides me through the rocks and gullies, and gives me the courage to keep walking. 



Isaiah 41:13–20
Psalm 145
Matthew 11:11–15
