Father Jim’s Daily Reflection

Father Jim Radloff

Up at 4:30 am each day for prayer, Father Jim soon discovered that others were also seeking to start their day with a short inspirational quote from the Bible. So taking advantage of Social Media, he began sharing with others the fruits of his early morning prayer amongst Sacred Scriptures. Using Lectio Divina with the daily readings from the Catholic Mass, Father Jim was now presenting a reflection that could help people throughout their day. We are happy to share these thoughts with you.

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
(Matthew 24:42) “Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.”

I learned the motto “Be Prepared” when I was a Boy Scout. Since then I have discovered that being prepared is not about stock piling provisions but is really about being in step with the Lord when running into life’s many surprises.
