"For the peace of Jerusalem pray: "May those who love you prosper! May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers."" Psalms 122:6-7
It is a time of preparation, making one's house ready for the coming of Christ in the Christmas season. The Christmas season begins on December 25, we are currently in the Advent season, the time of preparation.
As I sat this morning preparing, I contemplated my soul within my body. Is it ready to receive Christ, is there areas that I need to be preparing, am I living in the state of grace. When one ponders upon one's soul with the understanding it takes only one sin to not enter Heaven, it makes you think.
As we prepare for the coming Christ do not neglect examining one's conscience. What is taking up room that prevents Christ from finding peace within these walls. In the quiet you will find areas that need addressing then you are given the day to work upon them. Happy Advent!
Dear Father, I thank You for the gift of a conscience and it's ability to convey Your message. As we journey together during this week of hope, prepare Your resting place within as we go to Bethlehem. Thank You for this day and these time together. Illuminate my thoughts so I may recall what needs to be cleansed. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Ardent, Pray for us.
St Ignatius, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
