The share for the first Sunday of Advent!

Now we begin the year of the Lord 2008, with the prophecies of Isaiah whose visions are ones of justice, peace, light and freedom, hope for all the nations, and unity among all peoples. This is the intent, the will of God for all on earth.

God wants all to know wisdom and hear the Word of God, and walk in the paths of truth and communion.

And there is to be no war, no aggression, no conflicts between nations, and no preparation for killing. We are to be about the work of God: feeding, the hungry, giving wisdom to all, and living in the peace and light of God. This is what God is about is this what we are about?

If not , wake up! Stop all the evil that leads to war, to killing, hate and divisions! Stop doing deeds that are laced with evil. It is time to stand in the light_the Light of the World that is Jesus the Son of Man coming to call us all to justice, to the truth. It is time to be seen for who we are and what we have done, individually and with others, in this world, in our times. There is no more time for preparation- Our God, the Son of Man is coming_ Now ! Today is the day of the Lord.
