Let us adore the Son of the living God who humbled himself to become a son of a human family, and let us proclaim:
Lord, you are the model and Savior of all.
Christ, by the mystery of your subjection to Mary and Joseph,
— teach all people reverence and obedience to lawful authority.
Lord, you are the model and Savior of all.
You loved your parents and were loved by them,
— establish our families in mutual love and peace.
Lord, you are the model and Savior of all.
You were eager to be about your Father’s business,
— may he be honored in every home.
Lord, you are the model and Savior of all.
Christ, after three days your anxious parents found you in your Father’s house,
— teach all to seek first the kingdom of God.
Lord, you are the model and Savior of all.
Christ, you have made Mary and Joseph sharers in heavenly glory,
— admit the dead into the family of the blessed.
Lord, you are the model and Savior of all.

For this last Christmas of the decade, My Reflection offers a new and unique perspective. I am giving emphasis on the Shepherds of the first ever Christmas. These shepherds are always unnoticed in the Nativity Scene. But what Catholics do not realize is that many of us could actually relate ourselves to them. I assure you that this is an interesting read that would make your appreciation of the Nativity story much more meaningful.

The End of the World: An Advent Reflection
The Catholic Church traditionally teaches us the Four Last Things (Death, Purgatory, Heaven, Hell) and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ during the Season of Advent. However, many Catholics still avert from such topics because they are frightened of these things. My Reflection this Advent on the End of the World aims to give awareness and more insights into these truths, which we must face sooner or later. My piece also includes a Personal Message to my dear Readers.
