We were at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. in 1972 to see “Godspell”. I knew nothing about the play at the time. When “John the Baptist” sang out “Pre-ee-ee-pare ye the way of the Lord” at full voice, it rang throughout the theater and my soul. I was immediately immersed in the play. In the years since, every Christmas, I recall that experience. Unfortunately I have missed many opportunities to do as “John” suggested.
Lord, help me to love you and obey you more, Amen.

Thank you Mary for this deeply inspiring reflection.I love your thoughts about being open with God and telling him what you want ,but then turning it over to Him for His guidance and direction.

Be eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace. Six weeks and a few hours ago I almost got hit by a car driving with parking lights on. As the driver honking went in front of me between 50 and 70 mph I stopped and being 4 feet away I remember distinctly being at an indescribable peace. After this experience I remember Jesus’ 2 words “follow me.” Now like Peter, a “weak and stupid man,” I can continue to strive to be found without spot or blemish, thank God for confession. Thanks Mary for your Sunday “Gems.”
