SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
The Tidy Soul
For us, in this Advent season, we are being called to realise that the tidy soul, like the tidy house, requires effort. It doesn’t just happen. If we truly want the Lord to come and stay a while, we must prepare the way. It’s about putting the house in order – the soul in order. Somewhere and somehow, we need to hear the centurion’s words again and realise his words are ours too, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you under my roof’. For that, we need a plan of action, a road map of sorts, to guide us on the journey.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation provides some of that roadmap. Its coordinates are already there for us, and the initial movement might be found in ‘Bless me Father, for I have sinned’.
Vincent Sherlock, Let Advent be Advent
We remember at this time...
As Advent begins, we take courage in the sure knowledge that the Lord is coming. Maranatha – Come O Lord.
Though the days grow darker, we know they lead us towards the light – the birth of our Saviour. You are with us now, even in the dark days.
As we hang up our Christmas lights, may they help to brighten our way until we feel your nearness as you enter our hearts and our homes, guiding our steps.
Prepare the way of the Lord. Shine your light on the road before us as we walk with hope towards your loving arms. Amen!
