Live the Word of Life with intensity

Live the Word of Life with intensity.
The "Word of Life" is a Scripture phrase chosen for each month,
and then explained with a point of view of translating it
and living it in ordinary, everyday circumstances.
For December 2011, the Word of Life is:
“Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths” (Lk 3:4)
[http://www.focolare.org/en/news/2011/12/01/dicembre-2011/]

Now we must live it "with intensity"
coz time is running out - only 5 days to Christmas!

I "prepare" by accepting that I, too, carry the name
"Emmanuel, God-is-with-us"
(Is 7:10-14).
So - show it, LIVE IT! Forgive, be reconciled, love, make peace,
be gentle, sincere, compassionate ... as the One who is "with you"!
Live the Word of Life with intensity.

I prepare with my "Yes!" to the Holy Spirit,
like Mary in the Gospel
(Lk 1:26-38).
Show that you are filled with the Holy Spirit!
Live the Word of Life with intensity.

What a way to prepare to celebrate the Birth of Jesus
on Sunday!
