Today (Dec 8th) is traditionally the feast day of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady. However, since this is the Second Sunday in Advent, the celebration of the Solemnity is transferred to tomorrow, Monday, December 9, 2013. So once again continuing with our Advent reflections, below is the 8th day.

8th Day of Advent
On that day, the mountains shall drip new wine, and the hill shall flow with milk. ~Jl 4:18
Near is the day, near is the day of the Lord. ~Ez 30:3

The messianic promises are never vague. They always hold out the hope that the One who comes will fulfill the real dreams of the human heart for peace, healing, and plenty.
What we pray for, we must also work for. Thus do we prepare his way. ~Dec. 2013 Magnificat, p. 121

Pro-Life Challenge:

How can I increase my prayers for peace on earth and especially in the womb? What more can I do to prepare His way this Advent season?
