ADVENT REFLECTION | St Alphonsus Shocking Revelation of Jesus Suffering

Today’s Advent reflection comes from St Alphonsus Advent daily sermons. St Alphonsus’ insights into the nature of sin and Jesus suffering can be shocking and should move us to greater trust in his love.

St Alphonsus writes:
Consider that all the sufferings and ignominy that Jesus endured in His life and death were present to Him from the first moment of His life…Oh, what a martyrdom did not the loving Heart of Jesus constantly endure in beholding all the sins of men! He beheld every single fault. Even whilst He was in the womb of Mary every particular sin passed in review before Jesus, and each sin afflicted Him immeasurably. 

During the Advent season we can imagines of Jesus in the nativity, all nice and cozy. However, St Alphonsus teaches right from the beginning of the life of Jesus, Jesus begins to suffer! Even in the womb of his mother Mary.
