Advent Blessings!
Happy New Year!
We begin again preparing for the New Creation in Jesus Christ! We are a Christmas People, and we must
review the mystery of God becoming one of us, so that we can become who we were created to be, images of the Divine working in the world!
Today we hear from the adult Jesus about what we need to be as ones who are waiting on Him:
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come.”
Mark 13:33
At the beginning of our liturgical year, we remember that Jesus will return to us. We must be ready for Him to return in glory. However, this is not for us to fear, rather it is to make us love each other more fully. Love of neighbor as we love ourselves, makes us ready to receive Jesus, now, at the hour of death and at glorious Second Coming!
If we love, we need not fear!
Have a blessed and meaningful Advent!
Pax.
