Snowy day here in Calgary! I should have taken the stunning view from my brother's window yesterday morning when the mountains were visible. Now they are definitely made low.
It is the second Sunday of Advent. I love the Old Testament readings at this time. Today's first reading has the prophet Isaiah, crying out for God, "Comfort, O comfort my people!" The Lord God reigns and will feed his flock, gathering the lambs in his arms. God is gentle and loving in these readings. In the second reading, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness reigns.
Ah, if only we knew how to wait with grace, as the Lord moves in preparation in our lives. Prepare the way and then wait expectantly. God is coming to comfort and bring joy. I loved the entrance antiphon this morning: "...the Lord will make the glory of his voice heard in the joy of your heart." Listen for that joy!
Peace,
Suzanne
