Isaiah 40:1-11 • Comfort, O comfort my people.
Mark 1:1-8 • The proclamation of John the Baptist

Are we ready to hear the cries for comfort? Are we ready to listen for the whispered words of God, gently guiding us in the wilderness? How will our patience bring peace in this uncertain world? When will we accept that there is no other choice then to wait? Even though we are called to wait, there is much to prepare. Our hearts long for peace, this world longs for peace, and God will provide us with comfort, and God will straighten our path and show us the way as long as we are ready to receive what is offered. How will you prepare yourself for the Good News?
