Reflections with Fr. Michael Kelly - Wednesday 01 Dec, 2021

This is a parable of Providential abundance - of God providing for his people in their acute and extreme need. We are in Advent and preparing to welcome the abundance of Jesus at Christmas - the fulfillment of God’s promise to provide for his people. What does this ask of us? Alertness and a readiness to be attentive to God’s fulfillment of his promises to be faithful to his people and to save them from their slavery and entrapment. That is the freedom that Christmas brings - the freedom promised to Israel throughout their history.
