Prepare your heart for the birth of Jesus! See flier for details. December 12-15

As we begin the season of Advent, it is my prayer that we will take seriously this special opportune time to prepare the doors of our hearts and open them wide for Christ, so we can do something beautiful with our lives for Christ.

And now, bless the God of all, who has done wondrous things on earth; Who fosters people's growth from their mother's womb, and fashions them according to his will! May he grant you joy of heart and may peace abide among you; May his goodness toward us endure in Israel to deliver us in our days. Sir 50:22-24

As we come to the end of the Liturgical Year and Ordinary Time, the liturgy speaks to us of God's judgment and the end of time. Jesus warns us to be prepared and to be ready for the Second Coming, when He will come again and God will be all in all. When and how the very end will come is known to God alone. But this we know for sure: the end time has begun with Christ when He became one of us in His humanity, died and rose from the dead.

To be Jesus’ disciple is to personally respond with our heart between hypocrisy of self-important behaviors and generous yet often seemingly insignificant actions. True disciples give all they have, their “whole livelihood” – not goods, but themselves. Discipleship calls to give without counting the cost, counting self-gain or seeking attention.

Today we are invited to reflect upon our relationship with Jesus, the King of the Universe, and others. It is actually Jesus Himself who teaches us the most important way of preparing to be with Him in His Kingdom –

Jesus places expectations for those who will follow Him and who will continue His message in the world.
