Turn to the Lord, repent of your sins, transform your lives, be prepared for the coming of the Messiah.
That who will be born in every heart repented and transformed. That is the Advent season, an invitation to wait, to prepare the way to receive Love in each one of us.
And thus, allow our life to be transformed. Turning to God and His commandments, leaving aside the things that perishes us and dedicate our lives to the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
What does it mean to turn to God? It means to take a turn from where we are to the face of God, the one who lives in our neighbor. That homeless person, that immigrant, that junkie, the elderly, the sick, that outcast, that single mom who must face the monthly expenses and who barely manages to.
To get to see all of that we must be transformed by that God made Man, Jesus Christ, the Emanuel. The one who once turned tables at the entrance to the temple, showing us the right way to do our Father's will.
Since I decided to follow Christ, my life is no longer the same, even if I wanted it to be the same, it couldn’t be, because light has nothing to do with the darkness. To walk in the same way of the Lord transforms us so we can see the big picture, it is a new birth in the spiritual life.
My fourth grandson Eli, who was born this week, is proof of God's love, a seed of hope that God has with humanity. He knows we can do it.
Let us take that example of Jesus of bravery and authority in ourselves and turn to the way of the good, of the way of love. Amen.
