December 2020 Leadership Edition
The close of November marked the transition
into a New Liturgical Year for the
Church. The first days of December step
into the first week of the Advent Season,
a season of joyful anticipation and preparation for the
coming of our Messiah. I am reminded that when I was a
boy, anytime a guest was going to visit our home, my
mother would have us all assist in the “burden” of
“cleaning” the house, even if it was just a couple of relatives
coming over to play cards. The idea of preparing the
home to more worthily receive its visiting guest can be a
sort of analogy for what we should be doing in our hearts
during this season of preparation for the visitation of our
Lord Jesus Christ at Christmastime.
