'May Advent awaken us to God’s presence in our daily lives.'
As we begin our journey through Advent, Pope Francis encourages us to be awake, alert, vigilant. He tells us that Jesus warns us: there is the danger of not realizing His coming and being unprepared for His visit.
The Holy Father goes on to say that God conceals Himself in the most common and ordinary situations in our life,” and we need to be constantly aware of this reality, not awaiting extraordinary events. This can be when we face someone in need, a chance encounter, or even in what might seem quiet or dull moments of daily life. “It is right there that we find the Lord, who calls to us, speaks to us, and inspires our actions.”
We at Missio Scotland wish everyone a happy and holy Advent season.
World Mission Month celebrates a unique global initiative that unites lay and religious missionaries from all corners of the world. The campaign is an invitation to answer the burning passion of our hearts and set ourselves in motion. By listening to our missionary hearts, we are able to share our love of God, and open our hearts to welcome one another, as a global family.
