Well I am not at St. Andrews today since I am in Las Vegas with family. Just came back from Mass at Guardian Angel Cathedral my Nina recommended to me. A beautiful homily by Father Bob Stoechig. We have entered the second week of Advent it’s about John the Baptist, it’s about the desert, about a thirst. Fr. Bob says, “Advent is a season of being off balance, John the Baptist, the desert, a wanting, the first two weeks are about us, it’s about an invitation, and our discipleship.” What a beautiful message we are given. The craziness of Advent while we are preparing for Christmas we also need to reflect and spend some time with our Father. This is the time to spend some time with Him. John the Baptist invites each of us into the desert to contemplate our relationship with Jesus. How is our relationship with Him? During Advent we ask ourselves or look at how well we are doing in being disciples of Jesus. Are we doing a good job or are we lacking in some areas?
Advent is a season of preparation of getting ready for the birth of Jesus and our faith journey. How is your journey going so far?
