Something Greater Than Ourselves

Let’s talk about my dad. So when I was a kid, about a year ago… One of my most formative things was seeing my dad pray on his knees, praying to someone more important than him. As a kid, I saw my dad as the supreme commander of the universe.

Seeing him answer to someone even more significant than him, loved by someone even greater than him, was so freeing for me just to be a kid and loved by my dad. In the gospel for this Sunday, Saint John the Baptist says, “There is someone who is coming after me that is greater than I, that is the Lord our God.” And so John the Baptist is secure in that because he knows he is not the center of the universe. And so my question, especially on the second Sunday of Advent, is your life pointing towards something greater than yourself? The great news is that I am not the center of the universe; you are not the center of the universe, and we can be safe and secure in being his sons and daughters.
