 "Who do you say that I am?" Twenty-four people from across the Diocese of St. Cloud selected a word or phrase that represents who Jesus is to them and have written a reflection on their chosen word — one for each day of the Advent season. #9 - Dec. 9: "My name for Jesus is 'treasure.' Recently reading Matthew 6:21, 'Where your treasure is, there your heart is also,' I was startled to hear myself wondering, 'What is my treasure?' Well, for Pete’s sake, Jesus is my treasure. Why else am I a Franciscan sister? Over 60 years ago I, like the farmer in Matthew 13:44, found a treasure in a field and sold all I had to buy that field. That treasure was then, and is now, Jesus." — Franciscan Sister Jan Kilian, Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls #advent #advent2019  "Who do you say that I am?" Twenty-four people from across the Diocese of St. Cloud selected a word or phrase that represents who Jesus is to them and have written a reflection on their chosen word — one for each day of the Advent season. #7 - Dec. 7: "Countless examples prove that Jesus is the greatest teacher. His parables provide meaning that all ages can understand, his 'Lord’s Prayer' taught his disciples to pray, and his life serves as an example and mentor for us to follow. He taught in many ways from huge miracles like the loaves and the fishes to simple yet profound messages like his instruction to the disciples: 'A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so also you must love one another' (John 13:34). This core message was repeated often and relates to all his teaching." — Linda Liebl, St. Louis Parish, Paynesville #advent #advent2019  "Who do you say that I am?" Twenty-four people from across the Diocese of St. Cloud selected a word or phrase that represents who Jesus is to them and have written a reflection on their chosen word — one for each day of the Advent season. #6 - Dec. 6: "God is perfect good, without any trace of sin or evil. The world God envisions for each of us is one of peace, love and compassion, where each and every person cares for one another and there is no war or strife. Jesus, the son of God, is the ultimate example of a citizen of this world. Jesus was without sin; he never gave in to sinful temptation or put himself above others. Jesus dedicated his life to teaching others to overcome their own sinfulness and become an ideal citizen themselves." — Christian Towalski, Sacred Heart, Sauk Rapids #advent #advent2019
