What is your image of the wilderness?

Today’s Advent Box invites us to reflect on a desert wilderness.

The reading is from Isaiah 40:3.  A voice cries out, “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.”

How much do we hunger for a clear path ahead of us?  How much do we long for food for the hungry, justice for the oppressed, water for the thirsty…?  

We are invited to prepare the way for God, maybe we clear the path one step at a time, working for that for which we long.

Advent hope continues…
