One day left, then tomorrow, the joy of the coming of the Lord, for which we have been preparing for these past three weeks. "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will perform wonders among you." (Jos 3:5).
Yes, we may have many last minute preparations before the relatives come, or we go to them. Perhaps ther will be a white Christmas and driving might be a concern. All kinds of distractions can fill this day. Yet if we can find a few moments to read the accounts of the birth of Jesus in Matthew and Luke, we will have done something that will help us recall, while we are busy about many things, who and what we are celebrating.
This morning, for example, 200 or more men will gather for prayer and breakfast, a time where the focus is on the birth of Jesus and its on-going imperative in our 21st century. We need to remind ourselves of God's love and to renew our love for God and neighbor. We need to restore this holy season of peace in our own hearts, homes, cities, and disturbed world. We need to remember that alone we can do nothing, but with God nothing is impossible. With gratitude and confidence, let us enter this holy season of Christmas.
