As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, this reflection draws from the Traditional Latin Mass readings for the Fourth Sunday of Advent—Saint Paul's call to be faithful stewards and John the Baptist's urgent cry to prepare the way of the Lord. What does it mean to make room for Christ in our lives? Drawing from the wisdom of Saints Augustine, John Chrysostom, and Cyprian, we explore how God wants to fill our valleys, bring down our mountains of pride, straighten our crooked paths, and smooth the rough places in our hearts. This isn't just about remembering an event from long ago—it's about making ready for Christ to be born anew in us today. With the heavens ready to drop down their dew and the just one coming near, these final days of Advent call us to faithful waiting with open hearts and open hands. Perfect for families and listeners of all ages seeking a deeper understanding of Advent's true meaning.
