It is a mistake to think that we wait for Jesus in the same way we wait for anything else in life, for Jesus is already present with us as we wait. Jesus arrives for us every day of our lives. He often comes in the person of someone in need, for as he told his disciples, whenever we serve the least among us, we serve him. A vigilant servant is already serving our Lord in each other. Jesus also arrives in those moments of grace, when we need the support of the one who told his disciples that his yoke is easy and his burden light. Here and now, Jesus arrives in the Eucharist in this wedding feast in which He offers his own Body and Blood to nourish and save us. Our souls wait for the Lord more than sentinels wait for the dawn. Let us lift up our prayer of thanksgiving in joy and in expectation of the coming of the Lord.
Love, Peace, Joy,
Fr. Bob
