Today's #Wyoming #sunrise was captured by Lorri Young Lang in Gillette. Lorri writes, "Todayβs sunrise stopped me in my tracks. Thereβs a quiet kind of strength in watching the horses stand in that golden light β a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, God still brings beauty, hope, and new beginnings."

Monday of the Fourth Week of Advent
Lk 1:46-56
Mary said:
βMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
for he has looked upon his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
and has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.β
Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months
and then returned to her home.

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women
And Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

DAILY GOSPEL REFLECTION

Fourth Sunday of Advent
Mt 1:18-24
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
βJoseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.β
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means βGod is with us.β
When Joseph awoke,
he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him
and took his wife into his home.
