So, I’ve had a somewhat personally tough week. A lot of internal warfare for sure, but its nice when you surely focus on the Lord, He does what He can to remind you that we need him. SO #PraiseGod always.
Anyways, onto my reflection for this week.
Today marks the beginning of our advent season. As usual I prepared for myself to attend mass on my own simply because my family either goes on their own individual time or does their own thing. Today was different. It was like Christ was calling us to be together at this specific mass.
I had work. My sisters had work. My parents were coming from home. Yet in God’s timing, we all made to our first mass together maybe even for the first time this year…all on the start of the advent season…
I went to confession and it was very fitting that the priest told me, when the Lord calls you so providentially or gathers everyone together…how much of a desire does He have then for you all together to be back in communion, and in relationship, and friendship with Him?
Wow….I was very overwhelmed at that moment by what felt like the purest love from the Lord…
It was a beautiful site. To see my parents pray. To see my sisters pray. This is what I’ve been missing out on in the last year as a result of having different schedules. Let the Lord made a way for us to experience the preparation of His coming.
I take it as a challenge from God. To help prepare each other during this advent season…
I take it even more as a challenge..that this preparation is leading us to LOVE MORE.
Coincidental? I think not. Providential.
Lord, thanks. I want to be a source of unity within my family. Thank you for also blessing my mother with another year of life. You’re the best.
Deo Gloria
