SIA: Second Monday of Advent.

Today's Advent theme for the Second Monday of Advent to ponder is:

Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain 

and hill shall be made low.

So how might we create a Spirituality in Action (SIA) for today from this theme?

My suggestions are as follows:

• Stay with Jesus in prayer today. You may wish to attend Mass and stay with Jesus and linger with your best friend, after Mass is over.
• Stay with Jesus in prayer today: Visit a church/chapel and spend time with Jesus so that we are drawn deeper into His friendship.
• Stay with Jesus in prayer today: In between tasks at work, take an extra moment before commencing the next task and offer a prayer (spontaneous such as Come Lord Jesus to me today or formal such as Our Father or Hail Mary etc).
• Reflect on the image of the valley being filled in and the moutain and hill being made low. What are the valleys, mountains and hills in our lives that need filling in and being made low. Decide on one of these areas and work on it with Jesus during this coming week.
• Prepare to make a good confession this Advent.

May the valleys, mountains and hills of our lives be filled in and made low  during this Advent.
