Happy New (Liturgical) New Year!
Coming off the end of the last liturgical year, we're called to be aware of Christ's coming to us.
He makes clear in the Gospel that we don't know when, so we must live in a constant state of readiness.
In the first reading, the prophet Isaiah is painfully aware that the people of Israel haven't been faithful, and have broken their relationship with God. He pleads with God to restore the people so that can be right again with Him.
St. Paul offers a hopeful note in the 2nd reading, noting that "God is faithful", and will keep His people "firm to the end".
As we prepare ourselves to welcome Christ again at the End of Time, at the annual celebration of His Nativity, and into our hearts each day, let us behold God's faithfulness and lean on His grace to live out the call to holiness each day.
