My dear people of God.
Today we begin the Advent Season and the New Liturgical Year. The Church assists us to constantly refocus our attention to the very important event of Christ’s coming into the world.
We are no different than those who lived in the Old Testament time. People were waiting for the coming of Christ, the Messiah and longed for His deliverance. We also must rediscover this Messiah in our lives. Each of us has probably experienced a Conversion period in our lives. That type of religious experience is a turning point in our spiritual life. However year after year we are reminded to turn back to Christ.
As a people of God each of us commits ourselves back to our God. Just as Israel looked for and anticipated the coming of Jesus Christ, so also do we enter more deeply into preparation for Jesus ‘coming. He is here among us waiting for each of us to turn more intently to Him.
Let us prepare a way for the Lord. May God bless you.
