Waiting--in a Christian sense--is receptive in nature, not passive, as we tend to think of waiting in today’s world. God is always working in us if we are receptive and open to his grace working in us. God wants to change us every day - every time we pray, go to church, work etc. Advent is especially the season of waiting receptively.
Today: Read the Gospel reading for today and spend at least 10 minutes afterwards contemplating Jesus and his message in today’s reading. He is waiting for you there.
