Reflection
Click on arrow and listen to the audio reflection:
O the depth of the riches of God;
and the breadth of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
For who has known the mind of God?
To God be glory forever.
A virgin will carry a child and give birth,
and his name shall be called Emmanuel.
For who has known the mind of God?
To God be glory forever.
The people in darkness have seen a great light;
for a child has been born; his dominion is wide.
For who has known the mind of God?
To God be glory forever.
John Foley,SJ Who Has Known
