Preparation is
something we do each and every day of our lives. We prepare for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. We prepare for work and play. We prepare for family,
friends, and neighbors. We prepare for birthdays, anniversaries, and other
special occasions. However, in this daily preparation for things great and
small we can often forget to prepare ourselves for the most important event in
our existence: the second coming of Christ.
How often do we
let our preparations for earthly things interfere with our preparations for the
heavenly ones? Do we spend time each and every day preparing ourselves for the
coming of our God? If the hour of His arrival came before this day was done
would you be able to say to Him, I prepared your Way and made straight your
Path, O Lord.
O Lord, grant us
the grace to live our lives as John the Baptist and constantly prepare for your
second coming by being good and faithful servants baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
