Pray today and this week about how God is calling you to witness to Advent, to observe Advent, to pray this Advent. Seriously. For without Advent, it is impossible to truly understand Christmas. 

The Lord can surely teach us patience – to wait on him and to wait for our prayers and he is sure answer to them.

Ask the Lord today to show you someone you need to forgive or someone from whom you need to seek forgiveness.

May our eucharistic Jesus give us that renewed life, and powerfully change and transform us from the inside out.

If we know the voice of the Lord Jesus well, and we continue to respond to it, then we know what follows it: an abiding peace and confident hope that cannot be taken away.

Let us “start strong” and “show God” to the world and those around us, and give a demonstration of the unseen by being Christlike in our lives and in our love.

Every day is a gift from our Heavenly Father. May we not take it for granted but live it as such, and allow the light of Jesus to shine in and through us so, as to illuminate and brighten our often dark and troubled world.
