God has a clear vision for the future, both for us individually and for our world. It is a vision of harmony and gentleness where all will live as one and the “wolf shall be a guest of the lamb.” God is not indifferent. He is the God of “endurance and encouragement.” In God, we see what we may be, what may come and who we can become.

For the Christian, Advent is the time to pause, reflect, and savor. It is a time to see life as a sacrament of the moment and not just an investment in secular interests, pleasures, and personal obligations.

God’s lesson is found in Jesus’ vulnerability. It is only when we are vulnerable that we learn how to love. When Jesus breathed his last, God’s unconditional and tender love was realized. Jesus always had a soft spot for the weak, lost, vulnerable, and broken. God wants us to come to Him freely, not because we have witnessed some fantastic display of prowess.

We are never a bother and requests for God’s love are never denied. This is the prayer of the heart. Desiring God alone and not only what we want God to do for us places this love relationship foremost in our minds, hearts, and souls. God is never bothered by this prayer.

This introit is divided into two parts: The first sentence expresses a certain distance, even uncertainty. The second sentence finds peace and safety and calmness.

Today we are invited to celebrate Holy Eucharist considering our journey to know God’s will and to respond to the will of God. We must claim our faith as it is now and dedicate our lives to what it will be. God is the one who made everything, the one without whom nothing exists.

God wants us to have a life that is full of peace and wisdom, joy and purpose. The Introit today invites us to begin rightly ordering our life to God. “I am the salvation of the people, says the Lord.”

Our invitation is from the Book of Sirach in a section of verses headed by the title, A Prayer for God’s People. This section deals with true worship of God, refreshing our memory of God and his mighty deeds: Our God who hears the prayers of the lowly, gives peace that lasts, keeps promises and upholds the covenant from generation unto generation.

The introit for this Sunday is drawn from Psalm 119, inviting us into close community with God as we begin the mass. It is in close community with God that we are able to be nourished by His word and His sacrament.

Again, we begin this Sunday with Psalm 86 and the reminder that our best course is to commit ourselves to God’s care. We may expect comfort from God, when we keep up our communion with God. God's goodness appears in two things: in giving and forgiving.

The introit tells us about God and faith and encourages us into an attitude where we can most benefit from the Scriptures that will be proclaimed and the Body and Blood of Christ that will be consumed.
