Advent Meditation

Each day in class I include an Advent meditation on the journey of the Magi, and I thought I would begin sharing that here each day. Each day includes a quote from Pope Benedict XVI and a reflection on that quote that I wrote.

“Like the Magi, all believers – young people in particular – have been called to set out on a journey of life in search of truth, justice, and love. The ultimate goal of the journey can only be found through an encounter with Christ.”
– Pope Benedict XVI

Advent is a journey. As with Magi, the more days that pass, the closer we come to Christ. Advent is a time to prepare yourself to meet Christ. As families and loved ones get together for the holidays, they get their homes and lives in order. Is your life in order? Are you ready to meet Jesus?
