Let us run to greet our Christ!

As our daylight shortens we live more in darkness.  However many of our brothers and sisters are living in darkness daily regardless of the season.  They are our immigrant sisters and brothers.  I was chastised recently for supporting those who would come to this country without "papers".  How fitting to the season if we as people of faith could bring about hopeful anticipation to the many who yearn for the hope promised by Christ.  If we are to run to greet Him, we must be willing to "minister to Him" as we pray in the second Eucharistic Prayer. A gradual change of heart will do this as each week our Advent Wreath brings more light. These valleys and mountains we create can be made smooth.
