Last day to order before Christmas is December 21st
I have this prayer card that says, “Keep me aware, Lord, of the difference between using you for my own plan and follow- ing yours. Help me to remember that reforming my life means letting you take charge of it.” As I was preparing the music
for our parishes, it reminded me of this prayer. It struck me when I was reviewing the music of “Ready the Way of the Lord”. The lyrics to this song as well as the Gospel mention making straight paths. Our paths are crooked sometimes and
equivalent to a windy road. This song helps guide us back so that our voices and actions are in harmony with what God wants for us. Let us continue to straighten that path and examine our lives during this Advent Season!
