First Sunday of Advent
In our first reading this weekend we see
that Israel stumbles when they do not actively seek the Lord and keep His
commands. Instead of blaming God for letting
them wander and have hard hearts, they needed to open their eyes and ears to
recognize God in their lives.
How do we recognize God in our lives? Are
we playing hide-and-seek with the Christ Child?
We need to be looking not simply
with our eyes but with our hearts, our very being. This is the kind of watching that Jesus is
looking for from us and He is looking for us even harder that we are for Him. This Advent, where will we look for the Christ
Child in our lives?
