We saw a list of 5 dangers of missing the Lord who comes to visit us... from today the Liturgy points to us 3 necessary dispositions to behold the coming of the Lord!
Needed Traits to Receive the Lord #1: EAGERNESS
Looking forward to meet the love of your life - that is the kind of disposition required if we really want to behold the coming of the Lord. The Song of Songs expresses the longing that one has for the beloved. It's like that innocent sweet child who asked her father at the end of her busy day of birthday celebrations, "Daddy, when will my birthday come again?" That eagerness, that longing, that yearning like the parched land for water, like the deer for the running streams, like the drowning person for a breath above the waters... that is the requirement if we really want to encounter the Lord who visits us this Christmas!
