Until we hear the Word of God and repent. Our season of Advent this year is unusually short. On this second Sunday of Advent we are only two weeks away from Christmas. The pressures to fill our lives with activity increases daily. We have the ability to stop, to simplify, to choose to be with those in need, instead of needing ourselves.
Winter is a good time to think about potholes.
And, in the darkness and cold, to invite God to fill them with the only material that is everlasting God's grace and love. Let us be, like St. Nicholas, among those who know of our own deep need for God. Let us repent and begin the journey to God.
