THE WORD IN ADVENT
December 9, 2021: Isaiah 41,13-20; Matthew 11:11-15
We fret and frown when we helplessly witness violence and wickedness in the world and ask, where is God! When things similar were happening, Jesus said I am here! The first reading is not to be interpreted as something like every thing will drastically change when God comes into our lives. There are two issues here: God never leaves us whether we acknowledge it or not, so we need not foresay an auspicious moment when God shall be there. Secondly, even while we are going through hard times, especially in those times, the Lord stays close to us - blessed are those who realise this, they will have peace!
