Dear Friends,
As we head in to the second week of Advent we hear the invitation for a clean
up, in the scripture readings. I remember, when I was young, my mother telling me
"pick up the papers, toys, etc. and clean up the house", every time when some one
special was coming to the house. I also recall the cleanings done by my father and
mother when once our bishop was coming to our house
I am sure we all will have such experiences. Imagine your boss says to you that
he/she is visiting you in your house next day. How would we leave our house??? Sure,
maximum neat and clean. It is natural and shows the respect to the person.
Now, hear comes the Lord and King, Savior of the world, Master of us all. The
Church announces His coming and asks us to do a clean up in our hearts, in our lives,
in our families, in our relationships etc. Have we begun??? If not this is the day,
this is the moment. "Prepare the way for the Lord". OK, Let's do it. God bless you all.
With Love and Prayers,
Fr. Thomas Tharayil
