From Fr. Sean Sheehy’s Notes, snippet of article;
Advent is Jesus’ wake-up call to us through His Church. It’s the season when we prepare ourselves anew to welcome Jesus into our life. Through prayer, fasting and acts of charity we prepare ourselves to meet Jesus at the moment of our death hoping to be welcomed by His words: “Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the place prepared for you since the foundation of the world.”(Mt 25:34) So that Jesus’ welcome may ring in our ears, He warns us to, “Stay awake, therefore! You cannot know the day your Lord is coming.” (Mt 24:42) It’s the season when we clarify our identity, purpose, and destiny, realizing they’re in our hands. How do we do it? The words of a Mexican Prayer helps us: “I am only a spark/Make me a fire. I am only a string/ Make me a lyre. I am only a drop/ Make me a fountain. I am only an anthill/ Make me a mountain. I am only a feather/ Make me a wing. I am only a rag/ Make me a king.” Happy Advent! (frsos)
