Telling the good news “Go up on a high mountain, joyful messenger to Zion. Shout with a loud voice, joyful messenger to Jerusalem,” says Isaiah in the First Reading today. “Shout without fear, say to the towns of Judah, ‘Here is your God’.” Yes, that is what each of us should be doing – perhaps beginning with members of our own families! Tell people about Him who “is like a shepherd feeding his flock, gathering lambs in his arms”. Each of us can reach people that no one else can reach – our family members, relatives, work colleagues and other people who may come into our life. So, there are two wonderful ways to prepare for Christmas: Personal conversion. What better present could I give myself? Leading someone else to know and experience the love of Jesus. What better present could I give to another person?
