On this first day of December, this first day of the season of Advent, and this first day of a new liturgical year, we are reminded that our relationship with the Lord can always begin anew. Even as we prepare for the coming of Jesus as an infant on Christmas night, we can also make this season an opportunity to receive him more deeply into our hearts and make him more central to the way we live our lives. Let us resolve to give Jesus a new birth in our hearts as we prepare for the celebration of his birth into the world.
Realistically, there is a word that sums up the less than four full weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that word might be anxiety. The anxieties are many: What do I get everyone on my Christmas list? When will I write all my Christmas cards? When will I decorate the house? Do I have enough gift wrap, gift bags, bows, and tags? How many will be coming over for Christmas dinner? Will everybody’s plane be on time? The anxieties of daily life can overwhelm us and distract us from what is truly important. Each year at this time it is a challenge to place the Lord’s coming above all the nagging details, to prepare our hearts as much as we prepare our homes. Let us not forget that Christ’s true home is within our hearts. A blessed Advent to everyone.
Love, Peace, Joy,
Fr. Bob
