On day six of this Advent season, we take time to celebrate the comfort that we find in Christ’s love.
Advent reminds us that the One who has come into the world and is always coming into our lives in new ways is the source of our salvation.
Today, as we decorate our homes for the season, we give thanks for the comfort and security they provide.
Every culture has special holiday foods and this becomes a big part of our experience of the festive season. We immerse ourselves in a sensual celebration of Advent and Christmas.
This week, as we celebrate the second Sunday of Advent, we hear of John the Baptist’s travels through the region of Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Scripture
Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.”
—Matthew 15:32
Reflection
A few minutes of deep breathing is an easy and refreshing way to take a break, clear our minds, and get a renewed start on the day.
Today we are inspired by the roots of Jesse and discover how that theme can translate into our Advent traditions.
We can strive to hold onto the quiet withdrawal of the ideal Advent, but when that means refusing the hospitality of another’s invitation, we might need to reconsider our commitments.
On this second day of the Advent season, we focus on the comfort found in the light of Christ.
