Reflection

In today’s Gospel we hear the urgency of Jesus as we begin our Advent adventure. Clearly, he wants us to get our houses in order. We could all think of things we need to let go of to get those houses ready.

Our scriptures give us a sense of larger households. When we hear words like Zion, the New Jerusalem, the Holy Mountain, these invite us to think about the city of God and reflect on the institutions and groups that we’re part of and care deeply about. For me, one of those institutions is our church.
