Preparation to Meet Jesus

12/15/2018

By Sr. Catherine of Siena
​Advent is “waiting eagerly for the Lord and keeping to the Way” (Ps.37:34).  We look forward to the coming of Christ as we prepare for the commemoration of the birth of Jesus.  It is also the season of anticipating His coming again at the end of time.  We remember that Jesus said “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” (Jn 14:6) 
 
We pray, meditate and reflect on our lives to prepare ourselves for the second coming of Christ.  We may also contemplate the lives of the saints who have passed on ahead of us as we review events and consider things we could offer up to God.  We examine the injustice that exists in our life, our community and the world and ask God for deliverance.  We hope in God to deliver us.  We offer our hope in God when we keep to the way as did the Apostles and Saints.  They taught us and they set us an example; they love us and keep us in prayer.  Their lives offer us hope in Christ Jesus.  They kept the way and we ought to pass this way on to others.  Let’s love God and our neighbors as ourselves.  God bless.
