“I can’t wait for this pandemic to be over. I can’t wait for the lockdown to end. I can’t wait for the vaccine to come.” These are some of the most common phrases we all heard and probably said this year.
There is an inexhaustible list of things we wait for - vacation trips, upcoming wedding, outcome of a medical work-up, result of an exam, etc. And oftentimes, we don’t have a choice. We have to wait.
God’s people waited for many centuries for the promised Messiah. They don’t know who, how, and when. And still, they waited.
When Mary learned that she would bear God’s Son, she knew exactly what it meant. Her Magnificat was a testament to this. She knew the waiting would soon be over. And she waited.
Last Sunday’s Gospel (Gaudete Sunday), John (the Baptist) said, “I am, as Isaiah prophesied: a voice that cries in the wilderness: Make a straight way for the Lord” (John 1:23).
Friends, big things are about to come, larger than our human understanding could ever grasp. Full of hope and prayers, I wait with you.
