Gospel Reflection– Fr Joshua Whitehead– Preparation and Discipline (Fr Joshua says that Advent is also a time of preparation and discipline, not to dodge or avoid the one who shows us the way, the one who instructs, but to encounter him, Jesus, and deeply intimate and personal ways. Staying awake or staying alert in a spiritual sense draws us in closer, deeper to Jesus and it actually makes us ready to recognise moments of pure gifts that are given by God to us. We're invited during this season of Advent to cooperate, to make sense of what God gives us. Our response is fourfold, first with every effort of our intellect. Second with a sound and focuses will that goes straight towards Christ. Third, with an upright heart, and finally, through the witness of those who teach us to seek Christ.)
