Advent Reflection - Thursday of the First Week of Advent
-
December 1, 2022
We have begun the Advent Season – a time to begin anew. It is appropriate to begin this new liturgical year with resolutions rather than January 1. We begin the year by reflecting on the coming of Jesus – first as being born then as the liturgical year progresses, we grow with him into adulthood – living and dying and living.
We again begin to build our house on the rock of faith, on the rock of Jesus’ teachings. We hear his story, his teachings, his friendship with so many different people. We are invited to follow him. By following him we are called not just to hear his words, but we are called to act on them.
Like the person who builds a house on a solid foundation we need to build our lives this year on our trust and faith in the teachings of Jesus. What teaching of Jesus will be your rock this liturgical year? Remember it is not just our trust and faith, but it is living out that trust and faith. It is not just hearing but it is hearing and doing that help us to grow deeper in love with our God.
