We ready ourselves for our groom. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">As months, weeks, days, and hours pass and lead us closer to the moment we meet him as his bride, we meticulously choose colors, centerpieces, flowers, a wedding dress, our bridal garments; we adorn ourselves with hairpieces, earrings, the special ring, a sweet scent; we clean our bodies and our souls for the Sacrament, entering into the covenant. Attentive to every detail, we ready ourselves.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In the weeks leading up to Christmas, we walk through another preparatory season, one set aside to recall and celebrate Christ’s first Advent, His coming to us in His nativity. Yet, it is also a time to meditate on His promise to return, that He will come again. For that second Advent, we are summoned to be ready.</p><blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">What does it mean “to be ready?”</p></blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">At its foundation, it means living a life of prayer and frequenting the Sacraments; remaining in a state of grace and perpetual detachment of this world, our souls en garde for the next. It looks like living intimacy with Christ as our hopeful hearts anticipate Him.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">It also means maintaining a posture of readiness in all that we do, perhaps even in our vocation.&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Through the language of the body, what we actively set in motion can impact our spiritual disposition.&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">When we open our hands with receptivity in prayer; when we genuflect or bow down; when we physically seek out Jesus in Church, these physical gestures have the ability to translate to the openness of our soul to the Lord. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">What if this is true in our homes as we live in preparation for our Bridegroom, Jesus? What if, as we practice readiness, service and hospitality towards our spouse, our “bridegroom of the present,” we prepare ourselves for Love Himself to return?</p><blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">What if the posture of bridal anticipation and receptivity in expectation of Christ, our Bridegroom can manifest and can form and mold our hearts in the way we await, greet and serve our husbands in the home?</p></blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The childlike heart of my son has taught me much about looking forward to the arrival of his father. His first words when he wakes from his nap are most often, “wait for Dada?” He knows his father will be back after a long day at work and he wants to be there, outside, on the curb to greet him. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Through the beautiful witness of this little one’s pure love, my husband’s homecoming is truly celebrated after great expectation. Now, it is the highlight of our day. When he returns, we meet him with the depths of enthusiasm and joy of being reunited with the one we missed during his absence.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This has brought me to reflect upon meeting Jesus when He comes back for us. Am I ardently perched on the stoop of my heart yearning to encounter Him?&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We can choose to make every greeting with our spouse a prayer for our readiness to greet Christ Himself. We can pray for our spouse’s encounter at that time with his Lord. And we can pause to reflect in this routine or “commonplace” moment with awe upon the inconceivably greater joy it will be when it is our Lord we are reunited with.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In a similar way, as we set the table, prepare a meal, tidy the house, furnish the homespace, our gestures of hospitality and service can serve our growth in intimacy with Our Lord. In <em>Theology of the Home </em>by Carrie Gress and Noelle Mering, readers are introduced to the idea that the interior of our domestic churches, our homes, is meant to draw those who come within to a reflection of their Eternal Home.&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our domestic church sanctuaries are meant to bring us into encounter with the Divine like walking into our parish sanctuary. </p></blockquote><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The daily, mundane tasks can become a prayer and the posture we hold as we go about them can cultivate within us <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/25"><span style="text-decoration:underline">a lamp that is lit for the visit Christ will pay us one day.</span></a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Growing up, preparing for my own father’s return home after a work day, we would tidy the home, help prepare the evening meal and try to create an environment of calm, warmth and hospitality despite the rowdy, energy of eight young ones running about.&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Vividly, I recall my mom explaining she must “prepare her home for her king;” this is how she saw making a home for my dad. I have taken this to heart in serving my own king of the home, who I have been called to serve. Each motion serves as a reminder of how I want my external and internal space to be when Jesus knocks on my door. I want my abode to be ready to welcome him.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Readiness for Christ requires us to ready our soul. The Sacraments cultivate spiritual receptivity. They heal us and call us into union with Him through the grace we are given there. Prayer without ceasing keeps us aware and attuned to HIS movements - where is He, where is He calling us and when is He coming for us.&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Ultimately, too, this intimacy with Christ is the catalyst for intimacy between a husband and wife. And our marital union here foreshadows and forms us for the heavenly union with our Bridegroom. We are His bride. On Him, we wait. For us, He shall come. Make haste, light your lamp.</p> </div> </div></div><div class="sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47" id="block-8753d471f4f8bb1c1dea"><div class="sqs-block-content"><hr /></div></div><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-3 span-3 float float-left" data-block-type="5" id="block-e10ff6e4d34d36088419"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:200px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative; padding-bottom:100%; overflow: hidden;-webkit-mask-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(white, black); " > <img data-stretch="false" data-src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d5acfd2fe131b4cc5ccdbc/1623975342070-RR9KVZGCVVLR6VMGHV4M/image-asset.png" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d5acfd2fe131b4cc5ccdbc/1623975342070-RR9KVZGCVVLR6VMGHV4M/image-asset.png" data-image-dimensions="200x200" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="" data-load="false" elementtiming="system-image-block" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56d5acfd2fe131b4cc5ccdbc/1623975342070-RR9KVZGCVVLR6VMGHV4M/image-asset.png" width="200" height="200" alt="" siz |
