TODAY’S WORD…

.

“Prepare the way of the Lord,

make His paths straight.

.

Every valley shall be filled,

and every mountain and hill shall be made low,

and the crooked shall be made straight,

and the rough ways made smooth;

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”

.

– Luke 3:4-6 (NRSV)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

The Lord is coming soon,

His arrival is imminent…

and we would do well to prepare ourselves spiritually for this great event.

.

We need to fill the deep and dark valleys of our heart;

level the cold mountains of our ego;

straighten what’s crooked in us;

and smoothen all that’s rough and unbecoming.

.

If we stop and humbly ask the Holy Spirit to totally take over

and to melt us and mould us,

He will fill us and renew us.

.

With His divine grace,

and our eager cooperation,

He will purify our soul through a new interior conversion.

.

The Holy Spirit will help us prepare ourselves well

for the coming of the Lord, our God – our King!

.

.

.

SHORT PRAYER…

.

Come, Holy Spirit, and make me fit for The King.
