So many thoughts swirling my brain. This is the time of year that should be thought-provoking but not reign chaos.
Reminder the St. Andrew Christmas Novena begins on the 30th. I posted it a few days ago if you need a copy.
We are about to enter Advent (Dec 3rd). A time of preparation. The beginning of the new liturgical year. This year’s theme (The Year of Prayer). These next few weeks should be about examining our life and making sure it will be ready to meet the Christ child.
It is not about decorating your yard or house. It is about deep cleaning your soul and decorating your interior life.
It is not about finding/or receiving presents from other people. It is about being presentable to the Christ child.
The news this morning was about the National Christmas Tree being toppled by a wind gust yesterday and the worry on it being salvageable.
Our nation is in chaos, and our lead story is the toppling of a Christmas tree? Sort of gives you an idea of where our priorties are set, doesn’t it.
Yes, I am guilty of being one of “those.”
Know you are prayed for.
