A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) on this Sunday's readings
Second Sunday of Advent (Baruch 5:1-9; Philippians 1:3-6, 8-11; Luke 3:1-6)
Smoothing out rough ways…to welcome You
Paul speaks of our ‘partnership in the Gospel’ and prays that our love continues growing. He wants us to ‘come to true discernment’ about our choices. Luke’s Gospel challenges us as married couples: are we enabling each other to ‘prepare a way for the Lord’? Are there ‘paths’ that need ‘straightening’ or ‘rough’ attitudes/behaviours that need to be made smooth?
