We have lit the first three candles of Advent — hope, peace, and joy. On this night, we light the fourth candle — the candle of love. The flame signifies the love of God that surrounds and fills us at all times, but that we recognize in a special way in the Christmas story. Advent is a season where every heart is preparing him room, as we ourselves become the resting place for Christ to dwell. Mary said yes to the indwelling Christ, but it is not only Mary who must respond. This message explores the story of the Annunciation in Luke 1, as we offer ourselves to God and ask him to “Find in us a Mansion.”
