Is 26:1-6
Mt 7:21, 24-27

In the 1st Reading, Isaiah says, “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord is an eternal ROCK.” (Is 26:4)

In the Gospel, Jesus says, “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the ROCK.” (Mt 7:24)
Later Jesus would say to Simon, “You are Peter (Greek for ‘rock’), and upon this ROCK I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not overcome it.” (Mt16:18)

On what foundation is your life, your marriage & your family based? Is it on the rock-solid Wisdom that has guided the Church’s 2000 years of history & growth? Or is your foundation the shifting sands of unproven modern ideas and soulless technologies?

Advent is good time to check the condition of our house. If there be some cracks & leaks, let us strengthen our foundation with the Holy Eucharist before the gates of hell burst wide open.
