Show us Lord, Your love; and grant us Your salvation.
As we begin the season of Advent, a season of waiting, reflection, and repentance, today's Gospel acclamation offers us a prayer that we can use throughout our Advent meditations.
As we ask our Lord to show us His love and grant us His salvation, we should open our hearts to receive both that love and that salvation. We should also remember that God wants to shower us in His love. In fact, He does so at every moment just by keeping us in existence. He does that because He loves us.
What's more, in 1 Timothy 2:4, we read that God “desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” We can be certain, then, that God will give us every bit of grace we need to be saved. He wants us home in Heaven with Him for all eternity.
Let us pray, then, throughout this Advent, that we can open our eyes to see God's love, our minds to know it, and our hearts to experience it. And let us pray that we will embrace the salvation that our Lord so lovingly holds out to us and prepare our souls for a full immersion in His love in Heaven.
