Audio! 9:00am Mass
“Let
us go to God’s house” (“run to meet Christ”)
Lots
of things to be busy about. Pulled in many
directions. Family, friends, co-workers,
shopping, wrapping, baking cookies or other yummies, decorations, etc. Easy to feel overwhelmed.
Don’t
forget the more important things which should also be on that list: prayer;
quiet; quality conversations that don’t take long but are the best way to say “I
love you”; and going to Mass.
(“run
to meet Christ” with righteous deeds)
Keep
first things first and second things second.
Don’t lose your priorities in the midst of all the noise. Let’s do Advent
right so that Christmas is really a joy for us.
In
some ways the message of Christmas flips the image of today’s readings - God is
coming to our house.
“Cleaning”
the house for guests. - The coat closet under
the stairs. The top of the stairs.
Never
really dealt with the mess. The house
appeared perfect but certainly wasn’t, and things came back out eventually.
Advent
resolutions (“new year”). Let’s do
Advent God’s way, not our own. Let’s get
our spiritual house truly prepared. What
are the first things you are called to keep first? Ask God during this Mass what He wants you to
focus on this Advent.
