"Seek the Light, Be the Light"
Spiritual Reflections
|
|
By Scott Root, Campus Minister
Gospel for Sunday, December 10, 2017 – The Second Sunday in Advent
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way. A voice of one crying out in the desert: "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths." John the Baptist appeared in the desert proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. People of the whole Judean countryside and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He fed on locusts and wild honey. And this is what he proclaimed: "One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." --Mark 1:1-8
Reflection
Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord! This Sunday’s Gospel makes me think about the opening of the 1970s musical
Godspell. In the beginning of the movie, the character representing John the
Baptist calls the people from their everyday lives, and they joyfully frolic in a public fountain, symbolic of today’s Gospel reading. What strikes me is the joy with which they sing the song and play in the fountain. As we prepare for the coming of Christ, do we do so with joy? Do we see joy in helping those around us? Do we find joy in the purchasing of gifts and the other preparations of the season? If not, why not? To accept Jesus Christ into our lives should be such a joyful experience that it radiates from us to all we meet. Advent is a joy-filled time of preparation to celebrate, not only the birth of a baby 2,000 years ago, but to celebrate our loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. May this season of preparation find us joyfully loving God and our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Saint of the Week – Our Lady of Guadalupe– December 12
The Blessed Virgin’s appearance at Tepeyac, Mexico, to Saint Juan Diego in 1531 was the beginning of a beautiful story of God’s and Mary’s love and care for the peoples of Mexico. Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Blessed Virgin, was named patroness of all of the Americas in 2003.

Prayer for the Week
Almighty and merciful God,
may no earthly undertaking hinder those
who set out in haste to meet your Son,
but may our learning of heavenly wisdom
gain us admittance to His company,
Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
