11 December 2024 - Wednesday of the 2nd week of Advent - Matthew 11:28-30

We live in a very busy world. I think a lot of us feel overwhelmed at time with all we have to do. Parents are often running all over the place trying to keep up with not only their work and familial obligations, but with all of their children’s activities. I feel like I go from meeting to meeting some days, only to have a lot of other obligations in the evening before I call it a day. We are called to put everything into perspective, even when our daily lives seem to be a burden. Amidst it all, Jesus is there for us on our journey of faith. We can find rest, encouragement, and fulfillment in our relationship with Jesus, in the way our faith can lead and guide us in the midst of a busy reality.  

Two weeks from today, we celebrate Christmas Day.  May these days of Advent help prepare us for the coming of the Lord. A week from tonight we have our Advent reconciliation service. I hope you will all join for this encounter with Jesus as he brings reconciliation and healing into our lives through this sacrament.
