December 5, 2024We have a lot to look forward to on that day when the Lord will come again! We’re on the 5th day of Advent, the season where we prepare for the two comings of Christ.
We usually spend a lot of time and energy preparing for Christmas Day: buying decorations and gifts, making plans to travel or host others — or both, and tracking down an item or ingredient to make something perfect. How much time do we spend preparing our souls for Christmas Day?
Jesus wants us to build our house solidly on rock, a stable, unshakable foundation. A strong foundation gives the best opportunity for a robust faith (as well as a home).
Our Dominican men, in formation to be priests and brothers, spend years in study, living in community, growing in ministry, and cultivating a solid life of prayer! And in the last few years, an additional year of formation was added. People often wonder why, especially when there is such a need in the Church. The answer is that the people of God need well-formed priests and brothers to be good preachers and leaders in the Church.
We spend a lot of time preparing for important things. Spending time on the foundation gives us the best opportunity for a robust faith!
