Advent Meditations - a beginning
Gospel
Mk 13:33-37Jesus said to his disciples:
“Be watchful! Be alert!
You do not know when the time will come.
It is like a man traveling abroad.
He leaves home and places his servants in charge,
each with his own work,
and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.
Watch, therefore;
you do not know when the Lord of the house is coming,
whether in the evening, or at midnight,
or at cockcrow, or in the morning.
May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.
What I say to you, I say to all: ‘Watch!’”
This Advent, I am going to try to post a daily blog that helps my readers have a richer Advent — an Advent closer to God. In the spirit of my blog, I will also do my best to incorporate Family and Crafts with the God focus. For me, they all go together.
To watch and wait for the coming of the Lord, is to look within. Prepare, as we watch. Live as if we are ready to meet the Lord.
From this moment (and I will probably need to start again and again throughout Advent) I will watch my current move, my next move. Will all I do help me prepare for the coming of the Lord - at Christmas and forever in my heart?
I will try.
Peace, Ann
