As the Apostles left everything to follow Jesus, we are to make a total decision for Christ. We place him first in our lives or we cannot truly say we are His followers
God calls each of us to salvation. We must be humble enough to know we need salvation and, hearing God's call, we must respond with the gift of our lives.
As the Divinity of Jesus was hidden under his humanity, His presence is hidden today among us in the humanity of our brothers and sisters among whom we live and work.
Advent is a season of waiting and expectation. We await the Lord to come down and free us from our sins. More than anything we await the day that Jesus will come in glory to gather us into the Kingdom of His Father.
