Readings from USCCB website
We are fastly approaching the Celebration of the birth of our Lord and we are reminded again this Sunday's Readings to "make straight the road". We are doing to prepare for Jesus to come again?
The second reading was particularly interesting to me. Romans 15:4-9
Brothers and sisters:
Whatever was written previously was written for our instruction,
that by endurance and by the encouragement of the Scriptures
we might have hope.
May the God of endurance and encouragement
grant you to think in harmony with one another,
in keeping with Christ Jesus,
that with one accord you may with one voice
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you,
for the glory of God.
For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised
to show God’s truthfulness,
to confirm the promises to the patriarchs,
but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy.
As it is written:
Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles
and sing praises to your name.
Are we doing enought to welcome people like Christ welcomed us? Because we may be the only Jesus that person may ever see.
