[So too, you also must be prepared,
for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.] (Mt. 24:34)

As we begin Advent, take some time to examine your heart. Am I ready if Jesus would come tonight, tomorrow, next week…?  Which attitudes and desires of mine need to be purified in order for me to be ready?
