We commence the season of Advent today. While in the Mass, a thought came across my mind. Whom do we usually wait for? Someone we love or someone we have some work with. We usually don't look forward to someone with whom we have no relationship or business. If someone does arrive, we care two hoots about him or her.
Speaks tons of our relationship with Jesus. The Church offers us a good opportunity to 'get ready' for the Saviour. But for one who is already deeply in love with Him, there is no 'waiting'. Even if there is, it is something spontaneous and natural. Not forced or another thing to be done.
So I'm asking myself: How eager is my longing for His 'coming'? Am I waiting at all? Does He even feature in my thoughts and expectations - at least at random, in flashes?
Come Lord Jesus, Come!
