12/5, First Saturday of Advent
Come and show us your face, O Lord,
who are seated upon the Cherubim, and we
will be saved.
Why do we eagerly await the coming of
the Lord? Because only through Him can
we be saved. There is no other
path. That is not to say that good
people of other faiths cannot make their way to heaven, only that the only way
to reach heaven is through the Lord.
That might sound contradictory, but only if we only think of things on
the human, present level. There is
always that hope for recognition at the very end. That does not excuse us, now, from doing
everything we can to reach out to God so that He might be revealed to us now
for our eternal salvation. And so we
wait.
