1st SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Whenever this song is being sung, voices rise up and rent the air with this beautiful song and the

lyrics are so affirmative of our readiness to await the coming of the song. You know the song I am

talking about: “Will you be ready when the lord shall come? Oh Yes, I will be ready, I will be ready, I

will be ready when the lord shall come.” Like Peter, thrice we affirmed and reiterated our

willingness to be ready when the lord shall come. Theory and practice do not always agree because

we might say that we are ready while in reality we are anything near readiness. The surprising part

is that He will come like a thief in any unexpected fashion and style that might find us

dumbfounded and running helter skelter. We are often too busy acquiring and building castles on

earth, too busy partying and having fun, eating and drinking, too busy working and investing with

little or no time to be ready for the lord. We might be caught unawares by his arrival just as people

who die during wars, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding and accidents. Therefore,

keep watch because you do not know the time or the hour He is coming, (Mtt. 25:13) Luke

admonished that we pray so that we may have the strength to escape all these things that are

about to take place and to stand before the Son of Man (Lk 21: 36) It pays to be spiritually prepared

and ever ready for the coming of the Lord. Advent offers us such ample opportunities for

preparation for his coming. The truth is that those who wait for the Lord will gain strength. They

will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not become

weary. (Is 40:31). Have time to prepare for the coming of the Lord so that when He comes He might

find you ready and willing to go with Him.
