Archdiocese Of St. Louis

Have you ever felt like Abraham, wondering whether God will come through for you? We hear people say “The Lord will provide,” but when you’re really waiting for something, it can gnaw at you. That’s what the season of Advent is all about: waiting and waiting well. Sometimes our impatience shows – in traffic, at the computer, at the ones we love. We try to take matters into our own hands, as did Abraham and Sarah, instead of remembering Our Lord who will come through on His promises. What we await at Christmas is far greater than any of our longings. In fact, Jesus is the one we seek, whether we know it or not. And so as we enter into this season of waiting, let’s look to the Lord – and up in the sky – to remember that He is always faithful.
