Thought of the Day Advent Week 3 Day 1 Jesus comes in the present moment through his Word
Advent Week
3: Jesus comes in the present moment in mystery
Day
1 He comes through his Word
“Whoever loves
me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and
make our dwelling with him.” (John 14:23)
There
are two movements here. First, we need to attentively hear and receive the Word
of God. Second, we must act on that word. When we do, we open our hearts to
receive a fresh, deeper presence of God within us. In this way the Word of God
is able to nourish the shared life of God given to us in Baptism. How often do we
find ourselves “hearing” the Word of God but not receiving it within us? How
often have we heard the Word of God and did not act on it? How than can God
find a dwelling place within us if there is an indifference to his Word? His
Word is his coming to us in the present moment.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
