Reflection of the week

Hams and hampers, mince pies and puddings are already on display in shops – a reminder to prepare for the Christmas festivities.

The Baptist‘s message is confronting – another reminder that the season of Advent is all about being ready, but not just ready to party. I must prepare my heart as thoroughly as I would Spring clean my home (Matthew 3:2-3).

Prayer

Come long-expected Jesus. Cleanse my soul of all the detritus of past sins. Revisit me with your salvation, so that I might truly welcome you. I open my heart, as I would open my doors to welcome all who gather around my table. Amen.

While I claim no expert knowledge when it comes to sheep, I did find myself relating to Jesus in his role as the Good Shepherd in today's gospel (21st April).
